The name of the movie is so nondescript that it suggests almost nothing what it is about. The central character is so persistent and single minded that he slowly but surely builds himself into one of the most unforgettable characters in movie history. He is so endearing that everyone including the viewer is rooting for him all the way through. This one should be shown in schools/colleges, to kids every where. Triumph of the indomitable spirit in chasing impossible dreams against all odds. Sean Astin gives an honest underplayed yet powerful performance for the ages. Ned Beatty is always a good character actor.

A story of love, hope, loss & life
20 October 2022
A must-watch movie that deserves a wide audience & the discerning audience deserves more such meaningful films. Should be made tax-free country wide. Beautiful/sensitive treatment of a serious and important topic. Veteran actress Revathy (of Anjali, Thevar Magan, Ab Tak Chappan fame) gives another national-award worthy performance as the organ donation grief counsellor who is the lifeline of this heart rending "true story". The entire supporting cast delivers. Great direction by first time director. Excellent production values /technical aspects.. the makeup was critical to the film and was so naturally done .. nothing looked out of place, overboard. The music gels and the songs move the story forward.

Inspiring story based on real events. no over-playing like in most movies around freedom struggle. excellent screen play/direction. great ensemble cast. Raj Kumar Rao / Nawazuddin Siddiqui early roles. Barry John in important role. Highly recommended. Bedabrata Pain provides a lot of Pleasure in his first movie. Look forward to more from the film maker.
