Director Bikas Ranjan Mishra seems too distracted in his storytelling, which makes the film half-baked. You are never allowed to invest whole-heartedly in the characters. In this case, the viewer is reduced to being a mere spectator who is never entirely absorbed or overwhelmed by what plays out on screen.
