Review

It is a great movie in the sense that it gives you a character to root for. Nirma is as an underdog as underdogs get. So naturally, you want to get behind her and root for her to win against powerful and potentially dangerous people. Mithila Palkar is absolutely adorable in the role of Nirma. This role, it appears, was specially designed to accommodate her personality. Her natural innocence and inherent cuteness just add a whole new flavor to her character. It also makes the movie exciting because she seems so fragile that you’re worried she would get hurt playing around these dangerous situations.
Abhay Deol is his usual self in the movie – deadpan expression and edgy delivery. Vijay Riyaz also gives a very convincing performance as a gangster. After having seen him in so many comic roles, it was a pleasant surprise to see his acting potential being utilized in a serious role.
There’s nothing much to say about the music in the movie. It is very average and isn’t used explicitly. Funny music for funny scenes, sad music for sad scenes is the theme of the music. All the actors in the movie seem to give more or less okay performances.
