Review
The tone in the movie is heartbreaking and sensitive because the film is all about a single person’s struggle. The more impressive and emotional scenes throughout the movie connected well with the audience. It is genuinely the best aspirational movie. The director did an excellent job by keeping the audience unchanged and explained in detail without confusing the viewers. It is a perfect movie for all age people. I could able to relate the proverb “No pain. No Gain” when I watch this movie. I would highly recommend everyone to watch this movie or at least keep this on their list.
