6/10
Overly long movie with a forced love triangle and a social message
24 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Good: The electricity plot. Maybe more time could've been given to developing this issue, rather than just using it as a background. What kind of corruption happens? How is government involved? How else are locals suffering? I still enjoyed the second half purely due to good acting of Shahid.

The bad: Love triangle - The director had two movies in mind - one about a love triangle, and another about a very important social issue. Unfortunately trying to include both in the same movie ended up in a disjointed plot with two very unconnected halves.

Forced dialect - While the performances were good, for some reason a decision was made to overuse some local phrases "Thehar" and "Bal" to a point where they were distracting and borderline offensive of the population they meant to represent.

Overall the movie was watchable, but could've been much much better with further editing and better development of the central issue.
