Respect to Divya Dutta and the entire team. In an era of 100-crore budgets, this film proved that a good story and honest performances are what truly connect. The scene where the kids share their tiffins always gets me.

Such a refreshing read. It shows how actors thrive when given creative freedom and a collaborative environment, not just a big vanity van. This is the kind of behind-the-scenes content we need more of.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I do wonder if the "no staff" approach is sustainable or fair for all crew members. It's great for a passion project, but the industry should also ensure proper working conditions for everyone.

Partho Gupte was absolutely brilliant as Stanley. The whole film felt so authentic. Divya Dutta as Rosy Miss was perfect casting. These are the films we show our children. No violence, just pure, relatable emotions. Bahut khoob!

The part about the script being a 5th std textbook is genius! It forced such natural reactions. Truly, some of the best art comes from constraints. Makes me want to rewatch the movie this weekend with my family.
