Direction:

Famous Iranian filmmaker and prestigious award winner Majid Majidi want to recreate the magic of his movie children of Heaven with Indian backdrop. He showcase his cinematic excellence on Canvas and walls. The best thing about his direction is brilliantly capture human emotions especially sibling bonding.

Performance:

This movie is really great debut for Ishaan Khatter. His acting was really awesome through out the movie. Malavika Mohanan looks good in the role of elder sister. G.V. Sharda also impressive with only Tamil dialogues. There was very little scope for Tannishtha Chatterjee as supporting role due to short length of role.

Script:

Story line has great resemblance with Hollywood film Slumdog millionaire however this movie failed to reach that label. Great inclusion of Sibling bonding, friendship, betrayal and common human emotions in script. Climax left many questions unanswered and that's why this is different cinema.

Music:

A.R.Rahman has collaborated with Majid Majidi second time after Muhammad: The Messenger of God. Song "Ala Re Ala" was good one.

Box-office:

As this is low budget movie, so box-office collection will not be a bog concern. Starting day collection was lower than expected collection however it will gain the momentum in the coming days.

Last Words:

Please avoid this movie if you hate artistic approach in cinema.

The paths of two siblings collide, when on the run from the cops after a drug bust. A 19 year old peddler from Mumbai finds solitude in his past, meanwhile his estranged sister, who in a bid to protect her brother lands up in jail. This catastrophic incident turns serendipitous for them, whose entire lives have been clouded by despair as unexpectedly the light shines on them from Beyond the Clouds!

What worked:

• the entire team of the movie is commendable; great direction, score, editing, screenplay and everything. Its a pleasantly beautiful movie making us feel the depth in characters. What worked is an overall movie viewing experience. The casts are good, and a surprise treat by Ishan. The movie is not a drag and main characters are given opportunities for introspection which I think is rare and good thing about this Hindi movie.

• plot holes; I might be wrong or unknown about the legal matter, but can't the woman being out in jail be left alone considering the case of self defense. Of course they were waiting for his statement, but considering she is a victim and he being the culprit, I was thinking if not bail she be not given the treatment. What would make it convincing is to give a strong or alternate sceneries leading her to jail. Overall, it can be ignored because of the great cinematic experience the movie provides.
