Overall, the ‘darkness’ stays on for way too long, thanks to the troubled characters and their complicated relationships. If you are attracted to such melancholia, go for this one.

Those who are not hooked onto Hollywood films won’t mind watching (former actor) Kamal Sadanah’s ambitious directorial debut, which can be applauded for its novelty and decent VFX. Kamal has dared to make an animal-centric thriller, a genre unexplored in Bollywood.

…film is somewhat like a Bollywoodised version of the Final Destination series. As horror, it partially works but as a slasher, gets too monotonous and repetitive…old wine in an old bottle.

The film has a good concept but lacks the vibrancy and spirit of the city it is set in. Overall, it faces ‘connectivity’ issues.

…the film can be watched for its purity and simplicity. It ably captures the beauty of small towns and first love…love before technology happened. Love before sexual desire found its place in films.

Overall, not many will have the patience to sit through this dreary tale. The title is misleading for sure.

Boys, avoid taking your ladki along or anyone alive for that matter, to this inconsequential, yawn-inducing whodunit tale.

While things stay mediocre throughout, the final nail in the coffin is seeing Rajpal Yadav and Vindu Dara Singh dressed as girls. That sight is simply repulsive.

We appreciate the filmmaker’s noble intention of raising awareness among masses and the rural audience in particular about issues like child labour and child trafficking. However, we wish the execution was as convincing.

…throughout the film, you keep wondering if it was intended to be a short dramedy or a gut-wrenching tale of suffering. In either case, it fails to make an impact. After all, you can’t merely ‘touch upon’ an issue as sensitive and intricate as Kashmir.

We don’t know about identity but the film lacks substance for sure.
