Technical performances
Coming to the technical side, the background score is brilliant. Several scenes have been elevated well with the BGMs. Even cinematography carried the mood of the film well. Surprisingly, the editing part for a thin story line, is very much convincing. It is only the editing that is just okay, as there are a few scenes, that deserve trimming for the betterment.
