What a waste of time
charlesadamek13 March 2020
I suppose there has to be somewhere that untalented actors can go to learn their craft. What better vehicle than a poorly crafted story that doesn't hand together and is full of internal inconsistencies. The director appearently just discovered the concept of the "flashback" and decided to use one every three minutes, whether the story called for one or not. And the lead actress is in the running for the most over-emoted performance of the decade. What dreck.

Interesting concept, terrible execution

The idea that someone could gain the abilities and personality of a historical figure, whether real or fictional, is pretty cool on its own. However, this movie is full of awful camera angles, subpar plot and storytelling, and low quality acting. I almost quit watching after about 10 minutes.

I could only sit through five minutes...

Oh boy, so many bad things here.

One, the 'action' is awful.

Two, the effects and acting look like it came from a low budget YouTube movie.

Three, the characters are obnoxious and needlessly cruel.

Four, the story is confusing and the far away camera angles and shakiness looks like an episode of The Office.

That's all I really have to say. Don't watch this.

I got the chance to watch this movie (recommended by my friend) this weekend. I must say it's a very nice and entertaining movie. The concept was very novel. The acting by all kids was superb too. I enjoyed it and would recommend this if you want to watch something real entertainment.

A good watch

Overall a very good Entertaining movie. All child artists have performed well. Vyom in particular, portrays many opposite shades of Intelligence and innocence , vulnerabilities and strengths. Best wishes to all the artists and look forward to enjoying more of their work.

Watched this movie with my 7 year old and he hasn't stopped talking about it. It feels like we ran into a good family movie after a long time. Incredible and thoughtful story accompanied by superb acting from kids. It's a movie you can watch over and over again!!!

Easy 5 stars
arnavmerla1 April 2023
People are ragging on a film when they fail to realize that the actors are children and can't be held to the same standards as fully fledged actors. You can't expect someone to just show up and perform amazing. Secondly, they plot is creative and original. It also successfully combines many plot points and strategies from many popular movies. The acting was incredible despite a lack of experience and all in all, the movies is easily a 10 out of 10. Anyone giving this movie a bad rating has no concept of growth or improvement and as such are generally desensitized because of modern movies and flashy CGI costing some millions of dollars as opposed to a good movie such as this one.
