Script Analysis & Director Review : The subject of the script is good but the filmmaker is unable to handle this subject in a right way .The subject of teenage depression is sensitive in todays time as such cases are on the rise  parental pressure pushes teenagers to take part in competitions and parents expect  them to win , But when they lose the competition , most of them go into depression . The director has focused on depression partly but is unable to focus that winning and losing is a part of the game but participating in competition is important more than winning or losing .

Performances : Gracy Singh and Ranveer Shorey is average , Yatharth as Som has done a good job as a depressed teenager .

Final Words : Watch it once mostly  for locations only
