6/10
Liked it for the subject it showcased

6.5/10

Anek dived into North Eastern politics and conflicts, which I wasn't aware of much and thus made for an interesting watch from the start to the end in that sense.

But keeping that point aside, Anubhav Sinha presented a very uninteresting central lead along with voiceovers that felt out of place for some reason.

He also severely underwrote Aito making it hard for her character or her goals to create a genuine impact on me.

Like Khurrana's presence was seen and felt throughout but his character felt very much invisible to me and while Keivichüsa's character sparked a bit of interest she was mainly present at the two very end sides of the movie while being ghosted out for most parts.

The rest of the NE artists did what they could in a good way with the its and bits most of them got.

The dialogues were another thing that felt underexpressive and way too straight forward and the movie was with many a scenes that were both setup and executed in a poor manner but at the same time there were some brilliant shots and likeable sequences here and there.

The runtime and pacing were something that didn't bother me much.

Anyways even with the loads of problems that came with the movie, I still thought of it as a very atmospheric movie with A piece of heart if not whole and with a subject(no matter if it was explored in a surface lever manner or not) that i personally found interesting and these maybe the reasons that made me like this movie.
