The honest verdict
Viewers like it. A crime film, best on your own. When a revengeful Krishna destroys his brother's motorbike, his mother asks him to return home only when he earns INR 500 to repair it. In a turn of events, he finds himself in a Bombay slum.
“Haunting - more people should see it”A viewer review
Heads up: some violence, some strong language, some drug use and some scary scenes.
