Bit underwelming, though kind of expected it based on the trailer. Far too many of these slice of life realistic films overhyped to the core. It kind of feels the makers are trying to hide a lack of depth in script. Yes there are new elements like : highlighting depression (shoubin did a great job), finding black women exotic & general beauty of kumbalangi village. But it just felt like watching a few episodes of marimayam or aliyan v aliyan. Nevertheless considering its a debut director, was a good attempt. Likewise on the technical front & casting as well, with everyone doing a great job especially shoubin & fahad.
