    Suspenseful, intriguing and captivating, loved every second of it

    Rarely do i write reviews....so i might not convey what i feel accurately. In a long time i haven't been so captivated by a movie as much as this. One ofcourse watches dramas like this alone to draw their own meaning from it (which i would advise people to do). It conveys so much more than what can be said verbally by the actors or me. Masterful storytelling, skilful acting by both the actors. A must watch and people will be pleasantly surprised.

    Suspenseful and musically excellent

    I saw this film at the Nitte International Film Festival in Mangalore (India) because it has Adil Hussain in it and the trailer was intriguing. The film started off slowly (It's at the end that the beginning scenes made sense) but picked up quickly. The violin background made even the opening credits worth a watch. It is a suspenseful drama but the highlight for me was the music. It was so peaceful. The cliché mind expects something to happen in the next scene but you will be surprised. This film shows the practicality of financial problems of a poor family in the big world of Mumbai and uses music as a healer for everything bad we would come across in our life. The actors were brilliant and so were the locations. It was such a short length feature film that I was craving for more.

    Very very good...

    If I could sum it up in one word, it would be disturbing, the beginning already adds a sudden interest, a simple musician, living in a very poor condominium and the emergence of a cockroach, a different and intriguing situation, and at a certain moment, we are the cockroach, the camera game, photography, ambiance, perfect, because it reliably portrays simplicity and poverty, and during filming, that uncomfortable situation, the character's embarrassment, a reflection of the moviegoer watching him... What was that plot twist , guys... Beautiful movie...

    Oh, yes: I loved it!

    First of all: sorry for my English. Please correct me to arrive where I want to take you to. A film is always a challenge: it defies the sensitivity of those who watch it. I accepted the challenge. And I loved it. Probably most of the people could finds it too slow, or too pretentious. Is is not. We live, in general, surrounded by action, action and more action. This one moves action within the viewers and then, while the film progresses, suspense begins to grow and suddenly you are in the middle of a whirlwind and, finally, "The violin player" gives you two endings. Alfer that… I saw it again. I asked who played the violin, and the Production gently told me that he was the Musical Director. Well, I think he is an actor, too. It is really extraordinary. If I could write in Spanish, I probably would be able to express myself about the quality of the Actors, the Photographer, the Writers and the Director. Thank you so very much... all of you!
