Warning: Spoilers
Moothon tells a story on a part of our society that many do not like to acknowledge.

There are many similarities to Salaam Bombay as both movies are shot in same location and portrays a similar picture of the people there.

The story is basically a tale of repetition of fates of two siblings who have somewhat confused gender identities who are trying to get away from the past but finally falling to the same fate.

Every cast member gives a fantastic performance. Nivin Pauly has matured as an actor and he portrays two sides of a person with real ease. Sanjana who plays the sibling also gives an amazing performance for a debutante. Special mention to Sasank Arora and Roshan Mathews with the latter being a treat to watch in the short screen time given to him.

Theres the overall movie flavour you get when you have Rajeev Ravi and Anurag Kashyap onboard with great cinematography and brilliant in all technical aspects.

There is a recurring violin theme throughout which was a really good composition.

In short this is not everyones cup of tea .
