Overall, no doubt it is a different kind of film that has some good moments but the pace and abstract nature makes it just about an average film. Also to understand the twists and turns one has to watch for all the minute details in the film.
The film’s pace is extremely slow and often the audience’s attention drops due to the snail like pace. The film has a lot of ambiguity involved moreover it caters to a definite niche small segment mostly the intelligentsia. The script is average as it deals with a storyline that delves into a realm of things however the screenplay acts as the downpour at times creating quite a bit of confusion with the manner in which the twists and turns are revealed. A different kind of film that has some interesting twists and turns but the manner in which they are brought to the fore is very vague.
