Screw what the mindless Bhakts think. The fact that they are asking people to boycott this film and giving it a low rating purely because she empathized with students facing obvious violence only goes on to show that Bhakts are guilty and they love bullying people that stand up for the right cause. The movie is fantastic and is definitely a must watch. Deepika is amazing on this film and honestly deserves an award for her acting because its not easy to portray emotion with that layer of make up on. Vikrant is stellar on this film too. I really hope people see the film for what it is and keep aside the IT cell's views on this.

I think this movie is an absolute waste of time. Same old washed up plot, family shifts houses, moves into an isolated house, dark basement, random killer. They lay down a bunch of scenes which have no relation to what is about to happen later in the movie. Also this movie is exhaustingly slow. Some level of weak action begins only in the last 20 mins of the movie. If Netflix wanted to waste money they could've honestly looked for better avenues or funded my next album. I have no clue why Dylan would sign up for a movie like this after working on some really successful projects. The script in all honesty is thrash. I really wish I could say something nice but I just lost 1 hour 20 mins of my life that I'll never get back and I'm genuinely mad at the team that directed and produced this sad little project.

What makes this movie fantastic is its relevance to the world today. It may be set in 2045 but it honestly felt like a mirror image of the world today. The "Game" where they find salvation in from the deteriorating world around them is exactly the Social Media apps we spend countless hours in. Putting out only the best versions of ourselves, doing our best to minus out the flaws whereas in real life we turn a blind eye to the wars, gender based, religious and political violence happening around the world after we are done posting one sad little facebook post or tweet. I thought the movie was amazing! not because I'm partial to Spielberg. My dad worked with him several years ago when He'd come to India for 'Indiana Jones' way back in 1982. I was born 14 years later and he left behind some lovely photostory books of Indiana Jones and Back to the Future with my dad. I grew up flipping through it like a fascinated child for several years. I'd love to meet him someday and say thank you. But oh well I'm a 23 year old singer,songwriter and social activist/worker so that is highly unlikely. Too much to fix here in India before I travel to the states someday. But fantastic movie sir, gave me a lot of perspective on how I can fix a lot of the problems in my country.
