Rating: 3/5

Frankly there’s simply too much simultaneously happening in this film, with no time for the audience to sit and stare, at the characters they’re casually gazing at. Such that no one gets sufficiently humanised, despite the meagre attempts. Which makes them look/feel rather distant. Or only as distant as India’s North East feels to the rest of the country. 

Which is where this film is set — with no specific state mentioned, among the ‘seven sisters’. Basically, North East as the region, where a battle for secession is on, with several rebel groups, as pawns, in the fray, and allegiances to people in Myanmar across the border implied.
