You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an emotional family story that shifts into tense conflict and still centers on a child’s search for belonging, similar to Roja or Bombay; Not for you if you dislike long runtimes, songs, or heavy melodrama.
Pros: raw, heartfelt emotions; strong performances; memorable music | Cons: slow, confusing start; second half drags; some melodrama
