[ketgup83 · 9/10 · 23 April 2016]

Everyone has dreams which basically creates a purpose in life in order to achieve your dream. You need to believe in your dreams, cherish and protect them and make sure nobody takes it away from you. "Nil Battey Sannata", meaning 'knowing nothing', talks about dream a mother has for her child. The riveting drama was felicitated at Silk Road International Film Festival which is an equivalent to Oscar awards in China where Swara Bhaskar won the Best Actress Award. So, is "Nil Battey Sannata" worth your time and money ? Well, let us find out..

"Nil Battey Sannata" is a coming-of-age drama of Apu (Ria Shukla) who finally grows up to become a IPS officer after her mother Chanda (Swara Bhaskar) sacrifices and struggles in her journey of motherhood to make sure she lives her dream of giving Apu a bright future.

Directed by debutant Ashwini Iyer Tiwari, "Nil Battey Sannata" is a sparkling film in every context. Right from the beginning of the film, you will be completely engrossed into the beautiful tale of mother and her struggle to keep her dreams alive. Blended with sarcasm and light moments, the film is a powerful drama which will help you sail it through 2 hours without getting bored. Told in a subtle manner, it is the simplicity of narration which is the highlight of the film and you will cherish each and every frame. There are no glossy sets, colorful costumes over-the-tone melodrama yet the film is entertaining and will keep you glued throughout. The screenplay is pivotal defines each and every characters to the core. Couple of scenes do stand out in the first half. The first scene at the school where the students gets punished for violating the rules of the school, the scene where the Pankaj Tripathi is surprised after Ratna Pathaka convinces Swara Bhaskar to join as student and the scene at Collector's house between Swara Bhaskar and guards are hilarious. Hats off to Ashwini Iyer Tiwari for standing out in her first film itself. She definitely has the merits to go long with her impeccable direction.

On the flip side, the climax is predictable and could have made it more appealing but the enduring performances by the star cast will leave you satisfied in the end. Music, generally used in background, is tuneful and gels well with the mood of the film. Cinematography is spellbinding capturing the essence of Agra in its beautiful frame. Art direction is brilliant. Dialogues are punching.

Performance wise, Swara Bhaskar steals the thunder with her electrifying performance. The "Tanu Weds Manu" actor is just growing better with each film. Surprisingly, this is her first film as a lead and she has displayed matured acting. Watch for her. She definitely has long way to go. Pankaj Tripathi and Ratna Pathak are brilliant as usual. Ria Shukla does well in her role.

Overall, "Nil Battey Sannata" is a feel-good cinema with a strong and captivating message. Do yourself a favor – Watch "Nil Battey Sannata" to get inspired and motivated. Excellent 4/5

Feel-good Film

[chemingineer · 8/10 · 28 April 2016]

Films with a social message are usually loud and boring. Nil Battey Sannata is a glorious exception. It is a very engaging film on girls' education.

Chanda Sahay has big dreams for her daughter Apu and toils daily as a housemaid and does odd jobs in various sweat shops. On the other hand, Apu who is in class 10 is least interested in school and keeps repeating that her ambition is to become a Bai like her mother. Mother and daughter constantly bicker over this. Chanda's employer, the kind and wise Dr Deewan (Ratna Phatak Shah), comes up with an artful plan and gets Chanda admitted to the same class as Apu. This leads to even more friction and a bit of competition between mother and daughter. Their weakness is maths and a boy, suitably looking nerdy in thick glasses, helps them get over their fear with some astonishing mnemonics.

There are plenty of emotion charged scenes, and if you find your eyes getting wet, it is not because the film is manipulative but because of brilliant scripting and endearing performances. Swara Bhaskar as Chanda and Riya Shukla as Apu are both excellent. Pankaj Tripathi's comically stern principal is a splendid cameo.

The title of the film literally means zero divided by zero and is a local idiom for an idiot. There are a couple of irritants, which I don't want to pick on in what is essentially a very heartwarming and feel-good film. I would recommend that you take along your domestic helps to watch it.

An amazing script amalgamated with wonderful acting and direction.

[ankitcom · 9/10 · 23 April 2016]

If you want to experience the magic of amazing scriptwriting combined with great acting and direction, this is the ticket to that wonderland. Right from the start, the cinematography gels with the script. Although it slows down for plot development, but then picks up gracefully again. It's a wonderfully crafted journey that steals your eye control and certainly your heart.

Producer Aanand Rai has marvelously mentored the debutant director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. After his stint of great movies, here comes a masterpiece in his first production venture. Ashwiny has shown great efforts and I'll take nothing away from him. It's hard to see such a masterclass in a debutant. The way amalgamation of script and actors have been done is simply amazing.

Rising from the supporting character roles, Swara Bhaskar grabbed this lead opportunity with open hands. She is very impressive and her body language is perfect all through. Little girl Riya Shukla steals the heart right from the start and continues to do so throughout.

Overall, an amazing script amalgamated with wonderful acting and direction.

Selfless Love of a Mother can do wonders!

[g_aparna · 9/10 · 28 April 2016]

Excellent film!

A motivational film where a mother motivates her daughter to do something worthwhile in life.

The mother is just a 'kaam wali bai' (maid, helper) plus she does many other kinds of odd jobs so that she can educate her daughter to become something – either a doctor or engineer!

But the daughter was least interested in studies! She had befriended couple of weak students of her class and all they rather loved it when the teacher sent them out of the class as punishment.

She got poor grades and she was more interested to watch TV and paste the pictures of her favourite actors! Her mother was ambitious to see her daughter do something much better than her at least.

When she asks her daughter as to what she wants to become in future, she replied that she wanted to become a governess or nanny because they pay well! This shocked her mother and circumstances were then created in such a manner that the daughter slowly and gradually becomes interested in studies, makes friends with intelligent students of the class – plus even her weak friends got interested in studies!

She later hacks the IAS examination !

Movie showed the power of positive motivation and also the fact that in order to motivate someone, you need not be some Oxford pass out but just plain simple – even less educated person but with a heart full of love and a firm belief that hard work and patience will definitely show results!

**the word Nil is zero, battey - divided by and sannata is again nothing or zero .. so the answer 'become nothing' or 'become zero, the infinite'.

Light & Nice - Filled with heartful moments

[amskher · 8/10 · 21 April 2016]

Generally light and nice this movie has received positive reviews. Amongst the few reasons to watch is the direction and acting talent at show by Swara Bhaskar and Ratna Pathak Shah. After a recent release its an extreme delight to see actors like Ratna Pathak Shah playing again. Exceptional talent here displayed by both actors. The movie has an usual story of a woman struggling seeking to educate her daughter earn a respectable life different from her own. Although there is no melodrama there are scenes in the movie good enough to stir your emotions in every possible way. The scenes such as the one where Chanda is taken to meet the school headmaster are one amongst the ones really appreciating.

A moral filled wonderful movie

[akshay-ak-kumar · 8/10 · 7 May 2016]

Nil Battey Sannata which means good for nothing and thats how the movie describes about one of main characters Apeksha played wonderfully by debutant Riya Shukla.

Apeksha which means expectation but unfortunately the girl has no dreams or expectations with life. Her belief is that her mother Chanda is a servant and she will also become a servant like her mother as her mother has no money to educate her for higher studies. And when she ends up getting poor grades in maths, Chanda joins her class as a student and challenge her to study.

What i really loved about this movie is the director and writer show reality in the film. It not hard hitting but a fact of life. Chanda does multiple jobs to sustain her family. We don't know much about her husband and yet inspite of all troubles, she wants to educate her daughter and make her a doctor or engineer. I liked the scene where she gets noodles to celebrate her daughter's success.

Yet when her daughter is doing badly in Maths, she re-joins school and becomes a competitor to her daughter. When he daughter breaks the bet, she decides to teach her daughter a lesson.

As for her daughter, Apeksha, she is the least bothered kid who just wants to waste time and has no dream and ambition. She is selfish and fails to see her mother's sacrifices.

There is also a nice part in the movie where Chanda accidentally meets the District Collector and stalks him wanting to know how he became one.

Also, the chats between Chanda and one of her employers, a doctor are nicely written.

Swara Bhaskar dons the role of Chanda with ease and confidence. Even with the age against here..she is pulls of a brilliant performance. Its high time that the Chopras and Johars give her a chance in big commercial projects.

New comer Riya is another star in the making and we should watch out for her.

Ratna Pathak Shah who plays the doctor and Vishal Nath who plays Chanda and Apeksha's geeky classmate do commendable jobs.

And finally there is Pankaj Tripathi who plays the school principal. He is one hell of an actor who makes the character look serious and well as funny. He doesn't make it a caricature. The one scene he stands out is in the beginning of the film where the new academic year has started and the assembly is going on.

The movie teaches a few lessons about life and yet it never becomes preachy or emotional. And thats its strength. This movie should be watched by parents and children together.

One of the best movie to come out of Bollywood.

[cybercyborg · 10/10 · 12 July 2016]

The acting was superb, direction and the screenplay was good too. The movie was so realistic unlike most of the school based movies, this was centered in a govt school where most of the India get educated. The movie is an inspiration for people with few resources and high hopes and dreams. It will motivate you to walk that extra mile to achieve your dreams. The movie is also an answer to those who always blame their fortune, financial status and let them come in between them and their dreams. The film also shows the eternal love of a mother towards her child and how she sacrifices her life to provide her child with all the comfort which she herself was deprived from. I loved the setting of this movie. It felt so realistic and beautiful. Plus the characters were so inspiring like the math genius Amar and the District collector. The sad part is these kinda movies don't make much in the box office. The audience prefer crap like prdp, wanted, dabangg. Movies with no moral and no sense at all. I hope makers of this, masaan, manjhi, gangs of wasseyur don't stop making these for they don' make enough in the box office. because someone has to keep making these to keep our faith alive in Bollywood.

A Powerful story,Great Lively acting with a lots of feelings

[shubhranshujoshi · 10/10 · 23 April 2016]

A Pleasant surprise from Bollywood

[hareendranep · 9 July 2016]

This film coming from a too much commercialized Bollywood is a pleasant surprise. Well crafted script and good direction and excellent performance from the lead actress makes it a memorable movie.

It portrays beautifully the dreams of a widow mother about her only daughter and her fight using limited capabilities to achieve the same.

Swara bhasker as mother of a teenager did an excellent job and it is hard to believe that it is her first movie in a lead role.

Director has also succeeded in getting the natural performance from theyoung artist's. performance of supporting cast is also good especiallythe head master.

With this film Director Ashwini Iyer tripathi can pull a chair and sitin the front row of current Bollywood directors.

This film has got a message which is important for north Indian villages. For sure this film will bring tears at least once while watching it.

good movie must watch it other than star movie

[kamalbaug · 10/10 · 7 May 2016]

excellent movie...:) story flow is good. heart touching movie. climax cool....

this movie has received very good critics reviews. direction and acting by Swara Bhaskar and Ratna Pathak Shah are very good. servant and master relation ship good. Although there is no melodrama in any scene of this movie. you will not get bored. The scenes such as the one where Chanda is taken to meet the school headmaster are one amongst the ones really appreciating. headmaster acting by Pankaj Tripathi is very good. looks like real school principle.every parents and children should watch this movie. true value return for your money.

Whispering tender emotions

[dineshprakash · 6/10 · 22 April 2016]

Director Mrs. Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari work is good. She has kept the realistic look and emotions intact with correct shots and way of narration. Story is very thin by Nitesh Tiwari. Screenplay by Pranjal Choudhary, Neeraj Singh, Director herself and Nitesh Tiwar is good and fresh. Dialogues are superb. Sorry I just forgot the name and couldn't find on net even. They are witty and enhances the character with pinch of humor. Starting twenty minutes is just amazing but then due to lack of sub plots, screenplay moves in circular motion. Principal first class with using 'Ghoda' metaphor is so sweet. Film sarcasms on coaching system with line that weak students need coaching more but they give discounts to high scoring students. Emotional quotient with mother and daughter is very good, well written, well shot and well enacted. Daughter acceptance scene in pre climax in class is very good. Direct admission in tenth class and of an adult is little filmy but its OK. Film slows down a bit in second half because of flat scenes and story not moving forward. Pre climax has good emotional balanced tone. Performance wise Swara Bhaskar as Chanda Sahay, (mother) is amazing. Its hard to believe that she was acting. Her improvisation is so cute in so many scenes on of them with her employer doctor, when she says "Ab Baal Bhi Kha Jaiye" is very appropriate and goes well with the mood of film. Ria Shukla as Apeksha Sahay, (Daughter) is impressive. Pankaj Tripathi as principal is outstanding. He can dig out scope for acting either it is there on paper or not. He doesn't has much scope but again he is superb. Ratna Pathak is another great actor, as doctor she is very good. School boy Pintu acted by Prashant Tiwari is good. Without doubt film is full of great performance, credit goes to actors as well director and casting director Mukesh Chhabra.

A movie amazingly written and incredibly presented. !!

[srihariash · 9/10 · 1 May 2016]

I didn't expected much from this but the movie turned out to be amazing ! The relationship between a poor (maid) mother and her daughter has been beautifully presented.The characters came out pretty well.The cinematography and direction are also quite impressive.Considering that this is the first movie of the director, this is very good.The movie beautifully moves on contrasting the ambitious Chanda and ambition less Apu. Movie revolves around the mother daughter duo. Movies like this are quite a rare in bollywood and definitely lacked attention from audiences. But good movies like these must not be underrated. Do yourself a favor. Go watch this movie. It will leave you cherished for sure. The film has some light moments as well as some emotional ones. But, at last everything comes even as it teaches you what life actually is.A must watch

A low profile non star cast movie with a nice message and moments.....

[SumanShakya · 6/10 · 24 July 2016]

"Neel Battey Sannata", this unfamiliar and inquisitive title, means a zero or worthless. Due to a low profile and a non star cast of the film, it won't find much of viewership, which is a sad part as this film deserves a better reach. The film through its simply told story very strongly advocates the importance of education, and by the end fills the story with a strong emotional bonding of a mother and daughter. The film deals with the characters who are very poor, who making a living out of washing dishes. The film takes a glimpse in their lives with a touch of wittiness and portrays the simple aspirations and dreams they have.

Overall, the film feels pretty slow at the beginning lacking the shades in the story; but the film does become emotional in its second half with few sequences that appear humble, yet touvhing. Instead of a modern school, the film presents a backdrop of a government school and the way the students improve their studies appears a bit glib. It's hard to digest watching the students who are totally zero in their subjects improving their maths just discussing few simple problems with the topper in the break times. Their personal effort or teacher's effort is nowhere shown. The film definitely isn't the calibre of movies like "Jagriti" or "Taare Zameen Par" made on similar plots; but at instances, the film does its wonders through its touching story, heart warming moments, and spontaneous performances of Swara Bhaskar and Riya Shukla.

Rating: 2 stars out of 4

A fairy tale take on an important social issue

[egress63 · 5/10 · 8 January 2018]

In Bollywood, there is a term for movies that exaggerate emotions and situations to the point that the depictions of the characters, their dialogues, their actions etc. become detached from reality and enter the realm of fantasy. Such movies are called 'filmy'. In 'filmy' movies, viewers are asked to dispel their notions of rationality and realism and are expected to simply allow themselves to be taken into a fantastical journey by the writer/director. Any questioning of why a character would be so nice (or so evil) is impertinent since the viewer is expected to know that the movie is pure fantasy.

This is one such 'filmy' movie. It is, as said by a reviewer below, a well-made and sweet movie. However, given the theme that it presents (the importance of education necessary for uplifting people from poverty), the approach taken by the director to mix fantasy with the grim reality (i.e. the hardships faced by poor parents for educating their children), the movie, it's characters and it's dialgoue felt not just out-of-place but shallow. For instance, in the real India - a maid (or a domestic servant) would never be able to afford to make chinese food at home. No 15 year old child would ever make a statement to his classmate: "Your parents are not asserting their dreams on you by asking you to study. For you are their dream." The entire movie is full of such cliched dialogue, set-ups and characters that made me feel that I was watching Cinderella (or some other fairy tale) when I should have been watching something as grim as The Game of Thrones. Thus, instead of being a hard-hitting realistic take on an important social issue, the movie is sugar coated fluff.

So, yes this is a well-made and sweet movie. It may be even worth your 100 minutes. But in the end, it's a cute teddy bear with little relation to reality. As long as you keep these expectations, thumbs up. Else, two thumbs down.

Nil battey Sannata - The Complex Journey of a Simple Life. By Rajesh Sharma

[rajrad · 26 July 2016]

A film that released in April 2016 back home. Even though I so wanted to view it, could not get the chance then. But then, as they say all good things come to those who wait. Managed to see it recently. Revolving around a mother-daughter duo, this simple story has taken on itself the job of answering so many questions that we face in our very own lives and seldom challenge ourselves to find the answers to.

Swara-BhaskarThe ever talented #SwaraBhaskar plays a single mother, uneducated and someone who moves earth and skies to make ends meet. A sweet girl called Riya Shukla plays her 10th Class daughter.

For every parent, their child is always the dearest to them. Then why does this very child become an irritant at times, with the passing years? Why do we lose our cool every now and then, with the same child we were swooning about? The film has tried to identify and portray this transition and maybe also provide answers to the viewers.

Personally, I feel there is a very thin line which defines the relation. And on crossing the same its no more a parent and child relationship. It becomes a relationship between two human beings. And along with that comes jealousy, competition, opposition and One-upmanship. Sounds bad right? Dwelve within to discover where you stand. No one comes clean, maybe not even me.

But the answer lies in sticking behind the line, on your side. And its only through your experience and wisdom, can you possibly identify it.

Its a great story of a mother challenging her own self to change her daughter's destiny. A journey of not just change, but also self-discovery. A journey of endless possibilities which are awaiting to be tapped by those who dare and those who try.

Amazing portrayal by all. Swara is a great performer, as always. Supported aptly by Riya, who herself has done a fantastic job. Very natural. And then we have the talented Ratna Pathak Shah and Pankaj Tripathi. The film packages various emotions from your childhood days (best recalled by those who did schooling in 1970s and 1980s). Found shades from my nostalgic past to enliven my thoughts and emotions.

Great job Ahwiny Iyer Tiwari! Loved the movie and will look forward to more gems from your side in the future.

View it. Get the DVD home and see how easily the message transcends across generations. •Rajesh Sharma •@rajrad

Unbelievably Motivating!!

[ashwinblitz · 10/10 · 30 July 2017]

This movie has to be one of the most inspiring movies in recent years. With a simple and logical plot, & without any over-the-top scenes this movie will make a you smile & cry, enjoy & think & most importantly change our outlook. It tells the story of a mother Chanda, a high-school drop-out, who works four different menial jobs, including working as a maid, for her daughter Apeksha's education. The daughter has an indifferent attitude & the movie deals with how the mother is able to change this. The roles of the mother & daughter are performed exceptionally by Swara Bhaskar & Ria Shukla. The cast performance is absolutely incredible and forms one of the most crucial success factor in the movie. Also no praise is enough for an absolutely stunning feature debut direction effort from Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. Not for a moment will you feel bored watching the movie. The plot is so simple yet so impactful & that's what keeps this movie apart. Its an absolute must watch for all age groups & will surely put a smile on your faces.

My rating 9.5/10

Must watch movie

[nitishjn · 8/10 · 14 May 2016]

The movie is simply awesome. I didn't expected that the movie will be too good. The movie is full with emotions, funny Hindi slang and will motivate a lot. The acting of the actors is amazing. This movie is about the maid whose girl is not good in studies and doesn't want to think about the future as is the condition of the many children of the poor family in the India. The mother of the poor girl does her best in order to convince her girl to start study and dream. She joins the school and start studying and continued her part time job of the maid and started working at other places to collect the money for the further studies of the girl.

Great story line

[bhardwajnitish-99220 · 10/10 · 20 November 2023]

The bustling heart of bustling Agra, amidst the vibrant chaos of everyday life, unfolds a story of resilience, dreams, and the unwavering bond between a mother and daughter. Nil Battey Sannata, a 2015 Hindi-language drama directed by Ashwini Iyer Tiwari, paints a poignant portrait of Chanda Sahay, a housemaid whose unwavering belief in her daughter's potential drives her to defy societal norms and pursue her education.

Swara Bhaskar, in a breakthrough performance, embodies Chanda with a blend of vulnerability and determination. Her portrayal captures the essence of a mother's unwavering love, her unwavering faith in her daughter, and her unwavering spirit in the face of adversity. Chanda's character is a testament to the power of dreams, the strength of a mother's love, and the enduring spirit of the human will.

Apu, Chanda's 15-year-old daughter, is portrayed with a mix of teenage rebellion and underlying ambition. She is torn between her mother's dreams for her future and her own desires, reflecting the complexities of adolescence and the struggles of self-discovery. Through Apu's journey, we witness the clash of generations, the weight of expectations, and the yearning for personal fulfillment.

The film deftly navigates the challenges faced by Chanda as she juggles her multiple jobs, her responsibilities as a single mother, and her pursuit of her daughter's education. She faces societal disapproval, financial constraints, and the constant struggle to make ends meet. Yet, through it all, her determination remains unwavering, her spirit unbroken.

Director Ashwini Iyer Tiwari masterfully weaves a narrative that is both heartwarming and thought-provoking. She creates a world that is both familiar and relatable, capturing the essence of everyday life in India while exploring themes of ambition, education, and the power of dreams. The film's cinematography is equally compelling, capturing the vibrant colors and bustling energy of Agra, while also highlighting the stark realities of Chanda's life.

Nil Battey Sannata is not merely a story about a mother and daughter; it is a story about the power of education, the importance of dreams, and the resilience of the human spirit. It is a story that resonates with audiences across generations and cultures, reminding us that even in the face of adversity, hope and determination can pave the way for a brighter future.

Simple, Sweet and Smooth Sailing

[pranayjadhav101-720-882333 · 10/10 · 26 September 2018]

Nil Battey Sannata is a beautiful movie made on a mother's struggle to motivate her daughter to dream and achieve big. The movie is very smooth paced and light hearted. The smile on your face will be maintained throughout the film.

Direction, Screenplay, Story, Acting... etc is simply brilliant. Swara Bhaskar who is such a talented and versatile actor does a brilliant job in this film. All the actors have brought their characters to life.

It is a feel good movie and hence a MUST WATCH.

Sooooooo good!!

[rahul-rdthecool-das · 8/10 · 27 February 2020]

Simple story and outstanding storytelling. Warm and heartfelt. Very fine direction from Ashwini Iyer tiwari. Swara Bhaskar was very good as the mother and pankaj tripathi was a real pleasure to watch as a school teacher.

This type of movies should be made more often. This is the real essence of Indian movie culture.

Best films of 2016

[bantatha · 10/10 · 1 September 2021]

One of the best I have seen a master class by Ashwini Iyer Tiwari.

Great story which could have been told better

[Pra-Nav · 7/10 · 13 July 2020]

I am upset with myself to rate this movie as 7. This could have got 9 but direction and poor performance by the leading actress bulled the rating down. Nevertheless it's a much watch for teens and grown ups alike.

The story revolves around a house maid (Chanda played by Swara) and her daughter (Apu played by Ria) who has convinced herself that she will grow up to be a maid too. Chanda knows potential of her daughter and want her to take studies seriously to make something good of herself in future. As Apu is distracted Chanda herself joins school and challenges Apu. It's nice to see struggle of a single mother to make her daughter serious about her life.

It was debut for Ashwini as a director. Nice effort, but could have been better. At times the relationship between the maid and Dr Ratna is shown too casual. The set up at Chanda's house does not go well with the surroundings. Camera could have been used better to highlight surroundings to give dramatic effect to the situation.

Finally Swara Bhaskar single handedly pulls the rating down. She sometimes speaks in village accent and at times speaks in her original Delhi accent. Her make up and look does not suit her role. She was a bad choice for this character role.

It's still a good story and a nice break from the star studded dumb Bollywood movies.

Dreams are aspirational, and everyone has the right to dream big and live it

[ridi-arahan · 8/10 · 21 January 2021]

What worked: The movie is a tribute to the foundation of our dreams to make it come true; the mother. It's a very well written, acted and directed piece of cinema. Ashwiny and Swara made one of the very heartwarming stories of our time, a tribute to the parents who dream about our dream. Pankaj and Ratna added the needed warmth and flavor to this beautiful movie. Usually the philosophies recited in movies stand flat but this movie had every reasons to mean and make all the philosophical meaningful and relevant , thus making a solid impact when the movie ended. What did not work: Maybe some of the scenes were overly done, meaning the sentiments and emotional content were dramatic but I think we should also understand the theme of the movie. Final verdict: highly recommended

Loved it !

[nnk-39990 · 7/10 · 1 January 2019]

Great movie , spectacular performance by Swara ! Lot to learn from this movie and it's a must watch !

Good message with cheap thinking

[akshatmishra-59461 · 4/10 · 23 May 2020]

Pankaj Tripathy acting :- 10/10 Swara Bhaskar acting :- 4/10 Story writing. :- 6/10 Ploting. :- 2/10 That's a good step to inspire n motivate poor children to aspire education n get success in higher posts but to defame the labour or helpers work is hilarious, cheap thinking. No work is small even a cleaning staff is helping in making the country beautiful. Everyone desrves respect but you guys have shown them of no worth.
