    It's a GOOD FILM reflecting the real life conflicts and true events.Scenes propel themselves to other scenes with fast and snappy dialogue. I didn't go into this movie with high expectations, being directed by a debut director and with actors you don't see to much. But I couldn't have been more wrong.

    A lot has been said about this fantastic movie, and I add a few more praises. I absolutely LOVED the film. So much so, I watched it twice within a week. It has been such a long time since I have been left with that wonderful sense of satisfaction after investing two hours in a really good movie, and this did it 100%

    One might think this film would be boring and dull, but Ajays portrayal of Victor, an emotionally damaged man on the brink of death, was out of this world. It's a roller coaster ride of emotions that all leads up to an explosive and emotional ending that left me in tears. One of the most amazing dramas I have seen in many years, I recommend this movie with my highest regard. Ajay Nuthakki deserves a National Award for such a performance. I hope to see him in many more roles like this one. 10 stars all the way!

    This is a 'Must see' movie, innovative, and extraordinary. The level of realism achieved is remarkable, and although the film is relatively long in real time, it retains it's excitement and holds the audience's attention to the end.

    Writer/Director, Ajay Andrews deserves high praise for this creation. I thoroughly enjoyed this film.

    This is the debut : fantastic characters,outstanding camera and acting and a script that's very unconventional. Tight, thrilling - a must for any film fan. 10 stars out of 10.

    Warning: some bloody scenes in here , but they sure produce some memorable scenes.
