    Pooja sir

    The most compelling elements of this sociopolitically driven police crime-drama undoubtedly lie within a closer investigation of the film's underbellyWhile it doesn't delve as deeply into its main character as one might have hoped, it certainly paints an effective portrait of a strong woman undertaking an arduous task in a tumultuous landscape.

    The narrative's conscious lack of electricity can cause the picture to feel like an underpowered but well-intentioned social commentary. Yet the set pieces are handled with taut efficiency, the suspense emanating from the naturalism of the execution....

    Amazing pace with dissatisfying ending

    The first hour of the movie was undeniably the strongest part of the movie. Perfect screenplay, coupled with strong pace and cinematography, made me wonder if Nepali cinema has reached new heights. The casting seemed appropriate where all the actors performed well in their respective roles. Surprisingly, Nikita Chandak performed much better than I had expected. The tension in the Terai Region during the Madhesh Revolution was well shown.

    However, the movie seems to break apart after an hour, rushing to meet an ending which seems open-ended to me.

    All in all, it was a great watch. I recommend everyone watch it at least once.
