What’s Hot

  • The writer in Amole Gupte deserves all credit for having thought of the characterisation of the young boy and his dream. The absence of any kinks in the armour of the story goes on to show the level of care the writer has taken to make sure the story is made into an engrossing movie.
  • Partho Gupte and Saqib Saleem, just like their screen-times have a lot to offer to the viewers. Their relation as student and coach advancing to that of a guardian lives through the movie. Special mention goes to the kids who form the gang of the below poverty lines. The kids leave us in splits with their dialogue delivery.
  • The director deserves a pat on the back for the screenplay and plot. Every scene, even in songs, have been picturised wonderfully to show us the blatant realities of what the world is actually for the slum dwellers and its stark contrast in the cities.
  • The cinematography is rich and aplomb with its crisp angles and coverage.
  • Finally, the intention of the movie in prevention of child labour and encouraging slum dwelling kids who are forced into working, to get back to education and schooling holds the movie in good stead.
