Being a filmmaker myself, I couldn't help but applaud Hemwant Tiwari's audacious approach to connecting with the audience. His courage in bringing forth a one-shot, 1-hour 40-minute black and white masterpiece is truly commendable leaving me inspired.

Although I've stepped away from Instagram, I've urged my team to share any content Hemwant posts about the film. I regret not having as much courage.

Hemwant's relentless promotion of Lomad left no stone unturned. As someone with a keen eye for art works in films, like 1917 with its selective scenes, Lomad's continuous single-shot format for its entire duration is a delightful surprise.

Anticipating it would potentially lack adventure, I was eager to watch at what cost. Lomad began like a drama, seamlessly transitioned into a crime thriller. The use of remarkable tent poles throughout the narrative was sometimes hard to believe, showcasing the profound transformation people can undergo.

Lomad skillfully portrayed the concept that everyone harbors a stranger within themselves. People may present an admirable facade to the world and to their loved ones, but the film compellingly suggests that true understanding requires delving into the unknown - becoming Lomad.

With a plot filled with twists and turns, Lomad captivated and engaged me. The meticulous cinematography, coupled with a wonderful plot, delivered a message alongside a genuine work of art. While the script had its merits, there was a slight margin for improvement.

Lomad left me thoroughly entertained, offering both a powerful message and a visually stunning work of art. Looking forward to meet the man himself one day.

Kudos to the Lomadis of Lomad! Making a single-shot B/W movie like this, requires vision, conviction, meticulous planning, a 'lomadic' street-smartness and above all, a lot of courage! Loved the passion with which each character was portrayed, the usage of the screen real estate, the cinematography and the way the story was stitched together. The forest, the black and white rendition, the background sounds (of chirping birds...) all added to the rustic and raw appeal that made the story-telling even more gripping. Also, how even the time-lapse was depicted, without affecting / jarring the single shot objective. More power to you Hemwant and team Lomad!

Hemwant Tiwari and other actors have performed almost flawlessly in this one shot , 1 hour 40 minutes long movie. The second half is very enjoyable. Cinematography is very good. The locale where it is shot is beautiful. Birds chirping as background score is beautiful. Some of the techniques used for telling a story spread over a year , in a single shot , are excellent. Lomad' s achievement can be understood if you think of all the multi- crore budget movies that have come in recent times and compare them with Lomad, that is made on a less than shoe-string budget. Lomad is surely a very unique movie that requires a unique perspective.

Lomad is world's first single take film , it's hard to believe because when you watch the film it's REALLY unbelievable how the did the slow motion shots in a single take which the director has explained in his interviews.

One has to deep understanding and skills to create something like this. Unlike Irivan Nizhal where I could clearly see a object in front of the camera hiding the screen which is not a single take film but they are advocating it as one .... Where as LOMAD is CLEARLY a single shot film and also entertaining with a good story. I recommend this movie to everyone to watch. Acting is great of the whole crew.

An iconic masterpiece that captured my heart from start to finish! The story engrossed me in its world, while the impeccable direction brought it to life with sheer brilliance.

The thought-provoking dialogues added depth and resonance to the characters, making them unforgettable. The screenplay was a masterpiece of storytelling. Creativity at its best . A true gem that deserves all the accolades! Great film. The power packed performance, great dialogues, emotion, and the soul-stirring work created lasting impression. All the best to the entire team for such great work and wish you all great success.

Kudos to the actor-director Hemant Tiwari for masterfully bringing this gritty story to the screen and making us feel the very essence of "LOMAD" within him.

Best of luck to him on his journey, and may his future endeavors continue to shine brightly and captivate audiences worldwide.

#Cheers to team lomad.

Lomad is an extraordinary film and a treat for cinephiles. Auroshika Dey gives an intensely unsettling performance. Rest of the cast also gives us a stellar performance. As writer director, Hemwant Tiwari delivers a great film. The film has amazing twists and turns that keeps you hooked till the last shot of the film. The film is shot entirely in one single take by cinematographer Supratim Bhol, and one never misses any nuanced moment in the film. Supratim cinematography is seamless and you are in awe of the choices he had made while capturing the performances in one take. Lomad is a must watch.

The decision to film in monochrome is a stroke of genius, giving the narrative a timeless quality. Shadows and contrasts take center stage, becoming characters in their own right. The absence of color directs focus to the intricate emotions playing out on screen, inviting the audience to dive into the characters' internal landscapes.

The single-shot technique, while ambitious, pays off in capturing the raw essence of moments. Every frame unfolds seamlessly into the next, creating an almost voyeuristic intimacy with the characters. The unbroken perspective serves as a powerful metaphor for the continuity of life, where every second is connected to the next.

It is the first black and white single-shot movie with spectacular performances.... It's Incredible movie.... The hard work of the entire Lomad team is visible here, brilliant acting, phenomenal performances, excellent dialogues..... The artists have done a great job.

No one should miss this movie....

This movie has already won so many international awards....

Taking support to next level all aspects of this film should be nationalized as it is unique with its single-shot unlike previous film already acclaimed by others....

We hope that this movie will win many more awards.... And we hope to see more such projects in the future....

LOMAD ventures into uncharted cinematic territory, presenting a remarkable achievement with its single-shot, black and white approach. The film's audacious concept is a visual feast, weaving an intricate narrative within the confines of a continuous sequence.

The monochromatic palette proves to be an inspired choice, enhancing the film's mood and depth. Shadows and contrasts are used ingeniously to mirror the emotional journey of the characters. This visual restraint paradoxically allows for a richer exploration of their inner struggles and desires.

The performances are a testament to the actors' skill and the director's guidance. The absence of cuts demands a level of immersion and dedication that is admirably met.

Single shot is easy to say but to create is extremely tough but Hemwant Ji & Team Lomad, you made it happen. I have witnessed the team work over the screen so can visualize your effort over the span and extreme pain of thought to putting on screen journey is next to impossible. Kudos to the direction, cinematography is at its best. The promotions style was absolutely unique. Saw you in the Delhi Metro so went to watch in Noida along with Family. Storyline is wow, usage of location for 97 minutes movie. Keeping me intact to chair was amazing feeling. Superb work my friend.

The film was a fresh and new experience. I was little dicey about it because of black n white color. But I am so glad I watched it, Quite a roller coaster ride of emotions in this single take movie.

The film's score is a symphony of tension, perfectly syncing with the escalating stakes. The director's choice of plot twists heightens the suspense during key moments, enhancing the overall viewing experience. Each chase, revelation, and confrontation is accompanied by a thrilling story line that lingers long after the credits roll.

The chemistry between the characters adds depth to the narrative, making it even harder to predict their true allegiances. Auroshikha Dey is brilliant and so are Hemwant Tiwari, Tirtha and Parimal.

Lomad, deserves commendation for its intricate plot twists that defy convention. Just when you think you have the puzzle figured out, the narrative takes an unexpected turn, leaving audiences both shocked and enthralled. The script's ability to keep us guessing until the very end is a testament to the filmmaker's mastery of the genre.

The name , the team, the story, the direction , the location , the panorama , the passion , the dedication , the futuristic vision. Actors must have injected themselves with the script which is reflecting as its singleshot and reshoot will be heavy.

Hemwant ..what a thought...just brilliant piece of multiple coordination and carving something unique for the spectators .wow the art of keeping me attached to the seat. The story line was filled with twist and turns.

I wish the project should get large audience so as the new project can be applauded by larger assets. Keep up and the very best for future assignments .
