The film has moments which will leave a lump in your throat and moments that will make you laugh loud.

RGV has told it taut, specially in the second half that is all about Operation Killing Veerappan. Sandeep’s tranformation as Veerappan is commendable — from his looks to his dialect. Here’s an actor waiting to be explored. Usha too plays it easy. Sachiin was a delight and perhaps this is his best performance so far.

Director Tanuj Bhramar could have explored gay relationships deeper. But in this film, he is almost content to let it all rest with a son’s acceptance — if willy-nilly — of his father’s sexuality.

Well, for one, there is hardly any heaving and moaning sex.

Disappointed? Don’t be. There is plenty more that makes this film a one-time watch.

Debutant director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari has shown this heart-warming story in an entertaining and emotional way. The climax of the film makes one choke. Though the first half is slow, the second half picks up the pace.

The first half is crisp and the story moves smoothly, but during the second half the story moves a bit too fast leaving the audience confused. The direction is good but the editing is not up to the mark.

The first half of the film moves smoothly but the hasty evacuation towards the end makes the story lose grip.

This was a story waiting to be told, and it has been.
