When I first saw the IMDB rating, I almost decided not to watch the movie but I took a chance and watched it. The movie is beautifully crafted, with fine performances by leading characters. Sadaa khan is a revelation. It is not a documentary but a feature film and does complete justice to it. The movie only focuses on the impact on the lives of the leading character and comes out beautifully. The poor rating clearly seems like a propaganda to not promote the movie. I urge you to watch it, the beauty of Kashmir is not be missed and the story needs to be heard. While the movie might not be a 10 or even a 9, it is definitely a 7.5+ rated movie. I'm rating it 10 to negate the bad ratings if it makes any difference.
