Murray has ripped open the veneer of hypocricy of modern times centring around contentious issues of the century, with the sharpest edge of ascerbic truth- truth that we need to deliberate on with sincerity and yet refuse to engage with because of our derangement. It needs some spine to speak the truth and galls to digest it; a quality lacking in most people due to their zombified existence. We are a mob of zombies living in the parallel universe of social media; held hostage by its evil spell

I don't remember when was the last time a book made me go through a vortex of emotions. It made me cry for some days even after I was done with reading. It had a cathartic effect on me. It made me realize what I was missing out on in life and what are the most important things I should henceforth focus on. It taught me about giving a whole new purpose and meaning to life; it taught me to look at life and death and everything in between through a different prism. I can't think of another book so intense on emotions and which can make one melancholic and contemplative in equal measures.

This film is worth a thousand watches only because of Rani and her power-packed performance depicting an anguished mother desperate to get her children back. Anirban too has given a brilliant performance as an unscrupulous, greedy, manipulative and abusive husband, evoking anger and hatred in the audience for the character. At certain places, I found the portrayal of a mother's emotion to be hyped and overdramatic but since it's a depiction of a true incident and the character is based on a real person, we can discount that element in the movie. Once again, I must say Rani rocks and Anirban is a gem of an actor. Both of them, with some able support from the supporting cast, have put their heart and soul into it. Although autobiographical, the sceenplay will keep you hooked to the narrative from the beginning till the last frame and you'll be able to relate to the emotional roller-coaster journey, the agony and struggles of a mother, even if you are not one
