Beautifully narrated, and well scripted, showing both sides to the story. Nicely done, Arjun’s genuine confession made me cry. Sometimes we are so quick to judge people from their initial response, never giving them the time or the benefit of doubt to do the right thing. We are indeed a very highly judgmental society. Where we tend to stereotype people as it suits us. Nicely conveyed message 👌

Sweet Short Film! My message: Don't trust,believe, decide or make conclusions on anything thru phone call, social network, chatting apps etc. FACE TO FACE the person, eventhough it tooks time. May be in few minutes, days, weeks, months or years accordingly to the situation. Thanks to the director and crew members who did this film because have given messages to youngsters (how to behave on this age and brave to face any problems rather then being quiet and taking wrong action), parents (how to monitor their kids, calm down to face their kids on any problems rather then showing anger), friends (how to help, trust and sharing goodness with together rather then teasing or hurting them).

Honest review : It shows how the society feels, how it views you if you're in such situations. In the end, it's your life; your decisions have consequences. You don't want to take a decision from how the society thinks. Such acts are not to be taken lightly. But in the end, it is justified that such acts are okay to be committed. But such acts are largely entertained in current generations. The teens are mostly immature and wants everything to happen fast. The current generation should learn from this.(not to get inspired by this). The direction is on point, no laggy scenes.

[@dragonballfan9997]

well people are too sick according to my perception Media has one & only thinking that " to spoil the next generation. by trying to show its our god damn life do whatever u want to do. don't care about this freaking society.... love is life " media = prison that consumes people to control.....

I like how the boy takes responsibility, i understand he is immature to get her pregnant but he has maturity in some way, i am happy that he loves her too but i don't understand those guys who post on social media, do they never think about the girl's and boy's life, will they do the same thing if it happens to someone they love like girlfriend, sister or best friend? I hate that they don't have empathy

Respects and Bow down to the Content creator.. Well drafted and scripted. Apt casting and brilliant narration of emotions and varied perspective so well with no drop in the intense and it's strength. Dialogues - lovely and clean. Casting - Spellbound performance and expression of the emotions with the intense required to hold the content upright throughout.. Music - added soul to the content by riding (me) through journey of emotions. Frames - Too classic as to it held the grip from every angle of all the casting artists. I appreciate everyone who stood by the team throughout and the Artists associated with the team.. With prayers to all for more Laurels and Success ahead Anjana Jayaram Rao
