Disappointing
knightmare-587927 July 2021
I watched this only because my husband wanted to have a movie night with local films, and I heard the hype about this film. Wow, was I disappointed. The acting is pathetic. The story is ridiculous and so predictable. Actors are not easy on the eyes. And not at all relatable to South African Indians. We don't have co-ordinated dances in our lives and functions. This is a very inexperienced director and writer, Quite evident. I will not be watching the others. Spoils local films, no hope.

Excellent movie
deangov13 March 2017
This is a simple movie with a bunch of great actors. No fancy effects or over-dramatic scenes like the bollywood stuff. It takes a comedic approach to one of the hidden agendas amongst the Indian population in South Africa but at the same time, also relatable in most cultures globally. Highly recommended to watch and is safe for the younger viewers too (though i might add some PG is needed).

Utter trash
kojus30 September 2020
This garbage shows how unrepresented this community is, and that they should accept trash like this. When the filmmakers PAY people to go watch their films, that says it all. Filling in cinemas by getting sponsors including the government departments to purchase tickets and then giving it away just to hype this silly production. At least get some real talent , and a proper director . This was tedious to get through. Even Mnet rejected this movie on the first cut and they asked for an entire recut of the film. This shows that the film makers don't know what they are doing.

Feelse very natural, sometimes artificially funny
bvivekraj18 October 2020
Performance of all the acting crew is good, typical indian filmsy script without any hype. Keeping everything natural over very tightly packed emotional funny script.
