An emotional film as you watch the teenager juggle with the cruelty of life. The acting skills of the teenage actress in the movie is considered mature for her age. The movie in itself does not hold much of a plot. If the scriptwriter is able to incorporate more character development in this movie, the show can be much better.

Rate: 5.5/10
