Though they could have portrayed the struggles faced by common people when fighting against a private monopolist. But they chose to rather show a lot of unnecessary scenes. By trying to mix in humor, they have essentially ruined the emotions involved in every scene. Not being able to leave the dead to the dead has only made the whole experience weak and typical. Parallel tracks - of desperate father and sister, a firangi who speaks Hindi - don't help either. Songs aren't great, but a good start for debut musicians. Overall, a very pathetic portrayal of a truly serious issue.
