I saw this few days back. To be honest I wasn't even aware that such a movie existed. It was only when this was sent as an official entry from India n it was all ov the news, that I came to kno of its existence. Maybe the movie wasn't advertised or marketed well.

It is such an awesome movie that I find it a crime that this movie wasn't known to me.

The movie is about the 2018 Kerala floods n how people helped total strangers, showcasing that humanity exist specially in the southern states of India otherwise the cow belt n other regions in India are notorious for Christians, Muslims n Dalits persecutions.

The background song is very touching n the background music is mesmerizing.

The character Anoop will stay with u for a long time. So will the fisherman family n Nixon.
