In-Depth Analysis
The theme they presented is fine, and the way they portrayed it is also good. The overall story seemed lame. The two people were constantly rejected by society. They found comfort with each other. Their bond is not shown deeply, it’s ordinary. The dialogues are not something that will move you up. The scenes where the leads was trying to express their emotions were heart-touching. The ending was elegant. They have been attempting to show us something that we are already familiar with. The overall story may not be up to the standard, but the production and action that was a pit in it are good.
