Terrific movie with excellent acting. Story is a bit scary because I heard of this sort of stuff happening when I was a kid in India, but very edge-of-your seat, intriguing suspense. Great directing by Vikas Bahl and excellent acting on all fronts, especially Janki Bodiwala (Janvi) and young Anngad Raaj (Dhruv). Very much worth watching!

Loved it. An interesting plot that keeps winding you up but never releases you. There is so much about the "missing" time in Shriver's life going from a world famous author to becoming a janitor, that is never explained. That is where the REAL STORY is! It is never explained. Michael Shannon does an amazing job and that is what "carried" the movie for me.

Even as we speak, agencies from around the world are sending their scientist down to Mauritius to examine that Rocket Fuel Rum. Analysis has to be done to see if it can be used as an alternative fuel to av-gas for aviation or even for launching rockets into space. Meanwhile marine biologists are very concerned and are searching for that shark that just swam by (less than 5 feet) of the couple and that bleeding arm without stopping to even try a nibble. The wedding party on Rodrigues meanwhile, had to settle for fresh coconut water which was enjoyed by all.

This was a short but lovely story. Both Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi as well as the supporting cast did a fine job. The story I felt was paradoxically an "uplifting tragedy", in that while it was indeed sad there was an underlying message of joy in living for the moment. I thought that was beautifully shown. Now the whole incomplete song theme was for me (not having read the book yet) was a bit of a confusing distraction, though it did provide an excuse for some lovely fun and romantic scenes shot in Paris. Overall it most poignantly brings home the reality of what an immense loss we have suffered by the untimely death of a tremendous talent like Sushant. Rest in peace SSR.
