Robert Nov 23 2015 3:49 pm This film captured my attention, my heart, all of my feelings and every single emotion that one can imagine...and held it through its entirety! Empathizing with every single character, I have to say I was emotionally drained at the end...but what an ending it had! I will not post spoilers...but I will say that to watch this film you must be ready to feel pain, loss, love, hatred, anger (no, rage!!), passion, compassion, fear and hope...all of these! Not to be missed!!

jayanthi ramesh Nov 01 2010 7:52 am absolutely brilliant picture. the rugged hero speaks in silence.....each one of the characters has done justice to their roles..the visuals, the very subtle music, natural sounds enhance the quality of the movie. The absence of English sub-titles did not hamper the understanding of the picture.
