It's a sad but touching story. If you come to think of it,these kinds of events do happen in real life too. We read people in the wrong way often and the truth about their lives may jolt us. A boy who wanted to have an adventure during the last remaining days of his life, who couldn't have experienced love, was able to feel it and experience it but it made him want more. The rude awakening that he has is depicted through his love interest and how her life changes when they meet in the journey called life. The story also shows how trivial some of our pursuits and goals in life are and how an impending death can take everything away in a snatch and all we have left is ourselves and the pain to handle. I love this movie a lot and is the only movie that can make me cry every time...even if I watched it the week before...it makes me cry every single time...Jesse McCartney's best performance to date.

It is a must watch series and for me ,it was the first time I was watching an Indian series after I watched Mahabharat when I was a kid in the 90s. The approach to the series seemed raw and gritty,with all the vagaries of the old gangster filled Bombay and all the corruption of the current Mumbai, which got carried over from old times. The honest cops vying along with the dishonest ones and the general public living unawares to it all, though seems like the usual Bollywood film/drama, it's approach seems more raw,more gripping. The suspense thriller (if u may call it one) worked well in both seasons and I easily can remember being stumped by the first season's suspense. The second season did seem a tad too drag, but there were moments which tore your heart open,making you sadly agree with the grim reality that this indeed is the new India and it happens just like it was depicted in the new "resurgent/intolerant India". Spoiler alert- (I'm referring to the scene regarding the poor Muslim boy.) I for one give it a 4 star as there was no series like this before in India and we must all thank heavens that Netflix exists , thus allowing us to enjoy such good content. Else Indians are collectively spooned garbage or offal (disguised as TV series which basically always has the same storyline except different mother in law/daughter in law) on a daily basis, which makes viewers like me not to even watch TV for decades, meanwhile only being able to say that the last series I watched was Mahabharat of the 80-90s. PS: I would love to give it 4.5 stars,but don't know how to
