    Please avoid

    A movie of distorted facts and unnecessary sleaze. Gross scenes which are not required for the narrative. Do avoid to save time. An unfortunate black mark on the plethora of good cinema being witnessed now from the Bangla film industry

    Hard Truth of the Society

    Spare 1000 criminals but 1 innocent should not be punished. The film beautifully puts this sentence to justice. Powerful performances from everyone. Watch the movie for the storyline. If you love courtroom drama then this is it. An appeal to the masses not to play along the rhetoric and make media/social trials. We cannot just punish anyone to teach the society a lesson.

    Best Movie on facts not easy to explain & direct

    The people who belong law field do not need explain much but rest of need to go for study in detail.

    Intense court room drama

    Its all about a murder ! The final twist is expected but the detailing is excellent and thoughtful. Screenplay is the highlight of the film. It hardly bore us wuth unnecessary scenes. Must watch. Highly recommended

    A False Narrative

    A movie which put every effort to prove a criminal as a Victim of law, same what "Karla" did to notorious criminal "Karla Homolka" posed as a victim. If flims starts revealing truths then what's the point of court and police. Absurd
