While it’s easier to point fingers at the film industry for its lack of original ideas, a film on the paucity of water compels you to take notice. How often do you watch a Hindi film that addresses the subject of a basic human need? First things first, this film doesn’t stick to the formulaic notion of entertainment and secondly, it has an interesting story yarn to fall back on. The trouble, however, is maintaining the flow. That said, the film is a rarity without any doubt.
