    Good movie

    This movie may be considered as Dark version of the movie Director special , most of philosophy is same . But this movie stands highlighting negative aspects in better way . Also the sad climax is also much better than the Director special.

    Also most of scenes are comparable , as Rangayana Raghu plays father role is both the movies .

    Great cinematography 10/10 for it . If not watched Director special you will feel this movie is one of the best movie in recent times.

    Maybe even Director special was also inspired by the book /play this was based .So no complaints , it is a worth watch movie.

    A movie with a wonderful script.

    1. The editing is tight. Though 2 songs seems unnecessary, it doesn't bore viewers. 2. The script is wonderful. The trust in the end is the highlight. Dayal has done a great job. Things seems odd and out of place, but when you see the climax everything falls in place. 3. The songs are bad. I didn't like them. Director should've done away with them.

    The Suitcase

    It's a story of one day, one night, one family, one home, and one stranger. The story is about fortune, greed, and tragedy. Perfect casting. Almost a perfect story. Almost perfect direction. A slight loop hole in story telling. Otherwise one of the finest cinemas. If I tell more about the weakness it will be spoiled the story.

    ********Spoiler Alert******** ********Spoiler Alert******** ********Spoiler Alert******** ********Spoiler Alert******** The girl said her mother while coming back home from a late-night program, said, if her father and mother would have tried she had another brother or sister to talk to and passing time with him or her. She is alone. She has no brother, sister. But in reality, she has a brother who ran away long ago when they both were at the age of 8-12. Why does she not mention this point to her mother? Why does she not repent about his brother's ran away?

    When the blind man was walking at the night the drunk father cycling and got off from the cycle to the ground. But strangely the blind man didn't notice it.

    When the father calling the dead body as their son's name, why the mother does not get shocked and asked several times to her husband that, "why you are calling him our son? Is he really our son?" But the mother also starts crying with him, the daughter also. No one asked but be assured about his identity. When they got burned with their home, the villagers even don't try to put out the fire, no one tried to water in the fire.

    There are some other silly points which also be overlooked. If the director was more serious and thorough about the making.
