    dual tone dare and adore

    The awesome, The trend breaker, .... A film with a lovely mixture of dual tone dare and adore!

    A childish script

    This is a film that tries to handle a difficult theme in a country that is culturally unaccepting of Gay people. Unfortunately, the script is poorly written and the actors have little with which to work. The film does little to explore the Father's sexuality and even less to explore family dynamics except in the narrowest of ways. So much more could have been explored with this new wave of Indian film making but sadly, that was not done here. While this watered down and childish version of this theme may resonate with Indian sensibilities, it really is too superficial and bland for a global audience. Overall, this is a lost opportunity for a film to realize its full potential!

    selfish man

    There was no acceptable reason to break the home and let his son and little daughter because of his desire, why he married befor? Where the person who is more important than his kids !

    Unacceptable drama.

    Simple

    So simple and short tale! Tho It doesn't matter whether a movie is simple or short as sometimes short things make something big but this movie fails to touched it ! The script could have been much better !
