    Brilliant screenplay...was lost in the old family time...
    What a brilliant portrayal of a father's story by daughter! She is a very sensive and intelligent director and i enjoyed the small small heart touching things in this movie. The lonely character Shiddu was very apealing and could talk to my loneliness. Looking forward to more works from Kankana Sen.
