Tone and Theme: This film has a motivational & emotional drama tone. The theme of this film is loborious and fight. It’s based on a true incident from 1997. The goal of making this film is to depict the life of a boy from a small village in Madhya Pradesh’s Chambal region, his struggle, hard work, austerity, love, anger, difficulties, obstacles, being financially weak and not giving up until he reaches his destination, the village’s poor financial situation, taking responsibility for the family while studying, and his journey from beginning to end of his life.
Acting and characters: Vikrant Massey has played Manoj, the most difficult role in his film career, with great ease and seriousness. His performance throughout the film, from the first to the last scene is worth watching.Those who are struggling and working hard to achieve their life goals will gain a valuable lesson, motivation, and a never-say-die attitude from watching Manoj’s story in this film and Vikrant Massey acting it out, particularly those preparing for UPSC Exams.
His acting is of the highest quality. No other actor could have played a better role whether it’s his facial half-expressions, crying, anger, body language, dressing sense, suffering, pain, sorrow, or his brilliant and wonderful dialogue delivery, he has poured all of the emotions of human life into this character. No amount of praise for his acting would suffice.
Priyanshu Chatterjee‘s acting as DSP Dushyant Singh is also superb. It’s a small but important role, and he’s demonstrated how one small thing can change a person’s entire life by playing it with complete honesty.
Medha Shankar‘s performance as Shraddha Sharma is also good. Seeing the chemistry between the two in the film creates a different kind of peace; the acting of all the supporting characters is also well-trained. Everyone has honestly represented their characters.
