The Good Change (Pun Intended)

     As a layman, who doesn’t understand anything about Politics, business and ‘big time conspiracies’ as much as a wide-spread Indian Cinema audience doesn’t understand cinema, I was totally blown and equally confused when the ban on currency notes of Rs.500 & Rs.1000 was announced by Indian Govt. 

I am so layman and lazy to keep myself updated about current affairs (even the film industry gossips) that it was a friend of mine who called me up to ask my parents (both of them being the bank managers) if they would exchange notes the next day. That’s when I knew that this rule has been passed w.e.f midnight.

     I am not an analyst, nor am I any business guru or finance advisor. However, just as a person who doesn’t even earn Rs.8000 a month at the age of 24, here are the few things that crossed my mind and happened around me which I would want to stay with me as an archived memory. Thoughts, jokes, observations, opinions, and food for thought – the following paragraphs will include the mixture of everything. All what I felt, thought, saw and experienced on 8^th, 9^th and 10^th of November 2016.

   1.     PANIC –

As soon as more and more people got to know about this there was a wave of panic. Banks remained closed the next day being the prime reason for it. I mean, even I realized that the currency notes that I had collected only for the number on that currency Note ended with 777 or 786 were of no use now. Suddenly I realized that even I had some money to worry about – ironically in that wave of panic I had a moment of Euphoria with myself.

   2.     Viral –

When I was in primary school, there wasn’t a fancy word Viral used that often. That time we called it ‘fever’. But then the viral is not only a disease related term today. The speed of this news spreading was faster than light. Calling it ‘Viral’ would be an understatement. The power of social media was being exploited to the fullest. Within an hour almost everyone knew about it.  

   3.     Confusion –

Confusion was the result of eagerness to spread the news too soon to too many people. Without knowing the whole thought behind it or without understanding the procedures that govt. is planning to tag along the decision, the single sentence links were forwarded to every contact and thus half the information kept people clueless and with no answers to every question that kept piling up in their heads. My confusion was – the 786 numbered notes that I have, how do I set my preferences – Worth wise OR Value wise? Hmm…

   4.     Status updates –

Apart from the viral jokes to which I’ll come very soon, it was observed that almost 37% of the people in my facebook friend-list have quite a sense of humour. I mean wow…every one of them had some kind humourous, sarcastic, satirical, brutal, racist, leftist, secular, diplomatic and communist and other genres of things to say and put it as status update or tweets to post. Only if our minds worked this fast during the exams.

   5.     Jokes –

Oh My Godddd !!! I think, a total number of Rs.100 notes that was existing in the pockets of people on the 8t of Nov. was equivalent to number of people who took it as their moral responsibility towards the betterment of the nation and usage of whatapp to create and spread JOKES on this topic.
I want to know who are those illustrators and graphics guys who edited toilet paper roll made of 500 & 1000 Notes.
Who are these people who edit all other humour images and sent it to all of us before the rule was even effective after the announcement?
Don’t they have any deadlines to chase, or work to submit or any damn work at all?
My one short –film is edited and waiting for its Motion-graphics…please help me out here. I would at least be able to bring that film out.

   6.     Less Producers –

When I was convinced that this is to flush out the black money; My prime concern was – How will I find the producers for my films now?
You see 85% of cinema is made because people don’t know what to do with the money they had fun bringing home at one time but understood that they cannot really spend it the way they imagined.
The whole film fraternity is fucked up as of now.
With the fear of being bashed right on the phone, I didn’t even dare to call the head of the company who was going to produce my next short film.
On the other side, customers are offering Bank Managers bribe to let them deposit and withdraw more cash than the govt. set limit. 25-30% bribe on the amount above that limit. Only if my parents were a little evil, we would have become the producers by New Year.

   7.     Break ups –

Girls, women who bank their day-to-day lifestyle only on their good looks coz they know that they have guys whose dads have stashed enough, are more than eager to spend money on them.  How many relationships are still going to work when that breed is going to understand that bon-fire at their boyfriends’ farmhouse is made up of notes that they had eyed on. Again…Hmm….  

   8.     WhatsApp group quarrels –

A few words more and a person whom I had met just once would have come down to my place to fight because of the intensity of the quarrels kept rising on WhatsApp groups over the consequences and results of growing insecurity (about financial future) with every message. Ideally that group was created for a GOA trip.

   9.     Cash issues excuses –

The next day was a mirror - A Mirror that showed us how rich we are and at the same time how Poor can govt. make us only with its one decision. A few people could find a good escape from their commitment or work by giving a worldclass and unquestionable brand new excuse – I only have 500/1000 rupees notes. That’s the brilliance we have. A national problem of that day is an escape plan for millions.

  10.     Plastic money importance –

Suddenly the debit and credit cards seemed so damn cute and attractive. I could see everyone becoming very protective about them. Such a Love!

  

  11.    Trump president –

The Big Bang was when the Trumpets blew. I mean…the Trump-pets blew their horns for the victory of Donald Trump being elected as the President of the arguably world’s most powerful country. Everything from point 1 to point 9 happened again. Some extremely talented persons could also involve point 10 in this news. True Story.

  12.     Fake news –

True Story. The fake news of true stories started to spread more. 50% of people believed one thing and the rest of them had already put their faith in another.
Right from “Rs.1000 notes will be back” to “it will all stop in 2 days”. Someone also sent me the list of black-money owners from Swiss bank. Intense right!

And the bloggers like me started putting up News articles and posts like “10 things you should know” for both the news.

  13.     Modi the new mafia –

The word Mafia always attracted me, but it always saddened me that it was used for people who are harming the harmony and peace of the world. For the first time The Hero is the new Mafia for the real Mafia. The bold step to eradicate black money has screwed the cases of many Mafia Lords when they have started realizing that there is only a slimmest chance of getting a very tiny portion of their black money turned white. Either they will have to burn the rest of it, or surrender and pay the enormous fine.

  14.   Small pinch on the timeline of betterment –

Customers in banks are creating havoc and over-reacting to this.  However, many are not looking at the bigger picture here. This bold step by Indian Govt. is going to take us many miles way ahead than what we imagined. This one bullet is going to injure corruption, fake currency notes, mafia, underworld, Pakistan, China and many other stuff that analytics will explain on news channels  :P. The inconvenience to the citizens is just going to be a part of us for mere 4-5 days. If we see it from the top, on the “timeline of betterment” these 5 days of inconvenience are just a tiny dot at the beginning.

  15.    Support –

I am in complete support of this step taken for the betterment of nation. This needed to be done. Someday I hope to see a much Finer and developed India where in a description in my blog post - “the world’s most powerful Nation” would be addressed to INDIA.

 Jai Hind!

MaMi 2016

      Mumbai Academy of Moving Images (MAMI) hosts an international film festival in Mumbai, which is also known as Mumbai Film Festival. As it is the moods of festivals are taken very seriously in India...the word FILM adds a different glamour to it. However, it's a good chance for many aspiring and practicing film makers like myself to get to know the films that are made in many other countries which do not get a wide release in Indian markets. Interactions happen and also out of 10s of hundreds of entries a few are narrowed down that make it to the screening.
     This post is about my some small experiences at - Jio MAMI 2016.

     Its always a huge confusion to chose from 100-150 films that come in your hand in the form of schedule and movie catalogue. Most of the names seem Gibrish and the struggle to search the name of your favourite film makers begin. In the similar wave of confusion and enthusiasm, with some confusing booking process this year, I decided to go ahead with selective four films for day one. The online bookings displayed house-full shows for each of the films that I wanted to see. Same was the case with Ashutosh who too was going to attend the festival. I was almost going to lay back and put on the Malyalam film - "Ustaad Hotel" on my computer when Ashutosh called and told me that he is reaching the venue in next 15 mins. That was the motivation for me to get ready and go almost 30kms away from my house to stand in the queue of the shows that we couldn't book.

     Terrible and Horrifying films made our day 1. Bizarre and unnecessary stories. One of the three at least became a little interesting just before the climax but they took too much of time to reach to that interesting point giving away nothing at all.
I had been trying to chase an actor called Alok Rajwade since a few weeks to narrate him a script. Alok was right around and I just had to pretend that he means nothing to me. I had to en-cash this opportunity. A few strings were pulled and next day I saw a film called The Little Prince - It was a big sigh of relief from the previous day's trauma. This one was superb, refreshing and hopeful. Just the feeling I wanted to carry with me when I meet Alok to get his appointment for narration. After the screening of Alok's film "Kasav", I approached him and he was ready to listen to the narration. "Let's meet after 15-20 mins from now, and in case we don't see each other around after 20 mins, lets call each other."
For the first time things moved so quickly. Otherwise it is a slow process where makers need to run behind the artists to get themselves a couple of hours from them.
     The story was narrated in a heavily crowded McDonalds outlet. (Now I really worry that my script will be shot by someone else coz there were many random people who have heard my story). Result was unfortunately negative. He was too busy to give me dates that I was hoping for.
     Evening was spent with some family friends in the Irish House. Yelling, shouting, singing, laughing hard and eating pastas and other weight gaining food which was way beyond our budgets. However, that was the happy moment number two. First one was - meeting someone out of reach. It was important for me. It was important for me to get him interested for a narration. At least reaching up to him and convincing him to consider me to be worthy enough to meet me and hear my story. That was my tiny moment of achievement.
    Next day was the day of mix films. Four films seen by Me, Ashu and a friend of his. My Life as a Zucchini was the highlight of the day. another good part of that day was between two films I and Ashu got to catch up. Talk about what and how things are with our lives. Discussions and advice session.
    Which proved to be my last day at MaMi 2016 was the best one. Rajwade & Sons, a marathi film which I had revengefully not seen when it was released same time last year coz one of the lead artists of that film was shooting for this film when I wanted him to be a part of my project. However, I loved the film. I met him after a long time and it was a refreshing small talk with him. The next one I saw was Donald Cried, a light comedy film with a simple emotional end. One of the best suspense films Ashu , me and that friend of his, saw together was an Australian film - Hounds Of Love. That film very well explains the meaning of the word "Scary". Whats more interesting is that - It is not a horror film. 
It ended with the premier of a Marathi film  called - Veltilator by Rajesh Mhapuskar. It was the 3rd most fulfilling film of the festival after My Life as a Zucchini & The Little Prince.

     What's there to write about all this? What it has to do with you all. Nothing to be honest. What did Mami give me? A Lot. A lot of happiness, a lot of food for thought, and quite a realisation about many things that have changed in and around me.

- I found Anurag Kashyap walking beside me. Usually I would have forgotten everything and would have kept looking at him in awe. But this time apart from acknowledging his presence around me..there was nothing that moved inside me. He is not my ex-gf, but "mera usse rishta kaafi purana hai". It meant a lot for me to know that I am moving forward.
- Inside story is that, I met Alok for someone else. Alok was never my first choice for the role, but there is someone very special who would have been much happier than me if I had worked with him. For the first time I chased someone for someone else's happiness. Though it did not work, I had a sense of completion because I knew that I tried my best to get there. It is good to do something entirely for someone's else's happiness.
- For the same project the same person for whom I met Alok had suggested me a girl for the role of protagonist. "Why would she even consider?" Is what I had said. Turned out that The same "suggested girl", Ashutosh and myself were the trio who were watching films together throughout the festival. She is great to be with.
- Well, I am yet to be in the top list of film-makers...but right now when I am just a struggler, it is a big deal for me to watch a film with people like Ashutosh Gowarikar, Rajesh Mhapuskar, Nikhil Sane and Rajkumar Hirani sitting just a few feet away from you. 
- I saw a lot of French Cinema.
- It was a realisation point that today I know a lot of people. A lot of people know me. I am not an actor, my face is not seen on screen and thus People cannot make a pictorial memory of who Shoneel is, and yet there were some of them who knew me someway. That's a good feeling to have. 
- The ironical dilemma and fearful question that gave a way after MaMi-16 was, am I getting too comfortable in Marathi film circle? Do I need to bounce out and start a fresh and explore new horizons? Or should I stay in the puddle of this comfort zone for a little while longer? what's right, whats not!

     I still don't have the answer - you can answer it if you want to - But if it was not for MaMi...this question would have taken a lot more time to make it's way inside my head. 
Maa always said it - Everything happens for a reason.
A mere registration enrollment done with an intention of keeping my mind busy and away from the unnecessary thoughts, showed me an unexpected mirror to give a reality check,

    "Life badi kutti cheez hai...khush karte hi aapko aapki jagah dikhati hai!"

Like a Bat in a Trap!

      Without thinking who is interested and who is not, I am writing this post. The opinions and the thoughts are personal and only related to today's context of my life and people around me. Well, more related to people who WERE around me and coping up with the fact that now they are not.

Why to publish it here...well I just got to know today that my blog link is earning me more dollars than my youtube videos. Well, this motivated me to keep the blog live. So here is the first mental block which I am going through and is open for discussion.

      21 is a good age to fall in love. Perhaps for me it was falling in love again. She was simple, she was a homely person and very lovable. Now the dilemma starts from here it self - WAS or she Still Is? Anyway, going ahead... I fell for the girl and she fell for me too. We started dating and we were going strong until my male ego made its place in us. When our careers started changing their paces and when I felt that luck is taking her way ahead than what talent will ever take me. When I started to grow more and more possessive about her. When I started to grow all the more insecure about almost her every movement. All this happened right after she got her fist film as an actress.

     I always knew that I was possessive, It took us a few months to start dating officially as I always said that this wont work coz I become too insecure. She said she was ready to handle me. She did keep her word until it went beyond her patience. Though she loved me, she was a human being and she had her limits to bear. and one fine day she had to let herself be what every being would always want to be - Happy and stress-free!

     On the other hand I never wanted an actress partner. There are few things you naturally hate, and a breed of actresses is what I always hated. But that was my problem. Not hers. She had the opportunities of doing what she loved and she had to take it. There was no 2nd thought to it.
During our fights I always thought that getting away from her is the solution. Maybe if we wont be dating at all, I wont feel insecure about anything anymore. And thus, when it exceeded my limit of living with an actress partner, I ended it.

     Now the problem. Why I never wanted an actress partner. Even after getting away from that person. Her existence never left me. Being an actress she is every where. She is on television, she is on the internet, she is on instagram...not just her account, but the fan made posts and the posts that channel uses to market their daily soap. She is on the transit buses ads, she is on the hoardings and she is everywhere haunting me.
The more I run away from her existence the more her presence comes near me,
And its all the more worse when I know that the real person, who is far more lovable and soulful, hates Me much more than how much she loved me.
So there is no chance of neutralizing the fucked up past.

Even though I am happy for her, I want to be happy for myself too.

     How do I live without being affected is what my search is.  Sometimes I really feel like running away from everything. Running away from this city, from the hoardings and from every link related to her. But ultimately she feeds on media and media feeds on people like her. There is no running away from the media, unless I take Sanyas and start living in Mountains...which is again not practical. 

     The dilemma stays - one time I feel like just tuning to the channel and watching her every video once for all, but the next moment I know that that is going to kill me for I would know that I am looking at a fake person I once really knew well. I am looking at a person who once loved me and now hates me. But then I fear...will that cure this problem?

"When you cannot avoid, enjoy it." - That's exactly what I am unable to do.

I am becoming the bad person because she is famous now. I am becoming the bad person even for myself.

How do I grow up from this ! How far do I run? How to be OK with all this is the answer I am trying to find.

All in all I was right about one thing for myself - I never wanted to date an actress, coz I knew that if that goes out of hands, these were going to be the consequences. 

However, my life and the problems around it continue to stay 'filmy'! That's the only high-point to feel good.

\m/ Udta Punjab \m/

            The controversies were not ready to leave the back of "Udta Punjab". And not just one...one after the other kept coming in from many sides. And fighting like a David against the giant powerful Goliath, Anurag Kashyap, one of the producers of Udta Punjab, made the film get its release from 89 cuts to 1 cut in censorship. And today after watching it, I would still say that it might keep facing the problems coming in. Reason? It's Honest, It's brutally hard-hitting and it shows the nasty face of reality in that state. Abhishek Cahubey's Udta Punjab will keep you shocked or make you go numb. 

            "Udta Punjab" is a fictional story of four main characters and other sub characters revolving around them set in True problematic circumstances of drug affected Punjab. Sartaj (Diljit Dosanjh) and Preet (Kareena Kapoor), are the characters used to show us the racket of suppliers in their journey of getting to the roots of the problem. [UNFORTUNATELY, THE REAL ROOTS THAT MUST HAVE BEEN SHOWN HAD TO BE CUT OUT IF I AM NOT WRONG - THE PAKISTAN REFERENCE]. Tommy Singh (Shahid Kapoor) is a pop-star and a performer. He is a role model for many young boys and girls of the state. His track begins with the Police arresting him under the name of influencing the usage of drugs in the youth of Punjab by singing songs on Drugs and Cocaine. Everything changes for Tommy from there. And then there is a track of a Bihari girl who calls herself by an influenced name at the end of the film (Alia Bhat), who finds 3 kg of Heroin by mistake and hopes for GOOD TIMES to come to her by making money after selling it. The super well written screenplay bring all of these tracks to cross each others' paths in a classic manner to give us an amazingly gripping movie - Udta Punjab.

Before I come to the technicians and artists I want to mention some good things about this film.
 

This film is not just a story of entertainment. It has heavy entertainment value but it speaks a lot more than that. The film proceeds on two levels - 1. what you see & 2. what they have to show. The value and the strength of this cinema will be realised if you see and understand both the levels while watching it.

The political racket - sure the film has a story to tell, it has his own political characters and mentioned posts - but that's what you see - what they had to show was the ugly face of how politics is really involved in the condition of Punjab right now.

The Alia - Shahid scene when they meet for the first time - It is too well-written and presented. Kya situation hai and kya tarah se usse handle kiya hai - Just too good.  It has a lot of humour. But the subtext makes you feel bad. - "Yeh chodd k sab kuch hua hai mere sath" brought tears in my eyes.

When Tommy is in the Jail, that realisation point is well brought in and comes unexpected. The Balli character, the role that withdrawal symptoms play in the film is well put, the transitions of sequences.

The climax is just too good. And so is the End. Yes...End and the End Frame are different in this one. Basically.... It never Ends.

Haters will Hate. Some will call it Documentary, some will say that they have wasted the STARs by making them play highly unconventional roles. To them I say - 

Watch the film that you want to see and let the sensible people see the Cinema the makers have to show. Let them know that the story On-screen is no different that what's happening Off-screen.

 Coz Udta Punjab naa Lallu hai naa Fuddu... par saala Gabru jarur hai !

        Writing is the Hero of this film. Sudip Sharma the one who wrote Story, Screenplay and Dialogues along with the director who had his say in the Story and Screenplay has made up the strong base. It has so many things to say, it has so much of subtext in it. Every scene and every dialogue is aptly written and perfectly placed. It cannot get more easy and yet deeper than this. A little more in depth information would call a war with neighboring nations.

       Rajeev Ravi, The guy who shot most of Anurag Kashyap's films is the eye of this film. The perfect mixture where the film sometimes looks like a fiction and sometime a documentary helps us feel that things are happening for real. It's damn impactful. And to add this impact - Editing and background score have played major roles. Coming back to that later, Every track of the character has a slightly different camera and lighting treatment according to the story of each one of it. Rajeev Ravi transits your mind subconsciously from one track to another.

       Coming to the editing, the director and editor together have conceived superb transitions from one story to another. The connections that are shown are the signs of mature direction and thorough knowledge of editing the director and the writers have. Meghna Sen had to CUT the pissing shot, must have pissed her off for sure.

      
       Amit Trivedi's Music is very very good. It is perfectly complementing the genre and the attitude in which the film progresses. They are shot so well that you get too engrossed in the picturisation and the songs sub-consciously creating the impact within you. And equally good is the background score by Naren Chandavarkar and Benedict Taylore. The contrast score against the angry and scornful sequences make you quiet and speechless. It makes you eager wherever required and makes you stunned feeling helpless at times.

       Production Design is the key element in giving us the feel of everything being shot at real places and as if some real sting operation is going on at times. The director's treatment of giving too much of visual information in one shot required the set-up to be a step ahead of his thinking.

       Coming to the performances - This film is one of the best examples of perfect Casting. You cannot imagine anyone other than Shahid Kapoor in the place of Tommy Singh. Somehwere Ranbir might have done it but the feel would have been completely different. Shahid is rising above his capacity every time. Kareena Kapoor looks gorgeous as always. She has a very simple role. Her simplicity took me back to her role in Yuva. Damn cute.
In the Shaandaar review I had said that Alia Looks so cute that I feel like packing her and taking her home. But here the cutest actress in B-Town has shut all the mouths by giving us a grungy and gasping performance. She is made look normal and she doesn't look CUTE one bit. She is the character that she is supposed to play. Respect for Alia. Diljit is Punjabi Films' superstar as it is, but bollywood will surely welcome him after this composed and expressive role pulled off by him.
 

Apart from these stars there are others who shine and glitter more than the biggies - Satish Kaushik's presence is too strong, he makes himself feel even while we have Shahid in the frame space.
 Prabhjyot Singh as Balli is very much a Kashyap character. His entry and his over-all presence in the film make us feel bad for Punjab's young blood.
Harpreet Singh has a strong role.

       Abhishek Chaubey had impressed me right from the time I knew that he is Vishal Bhardwaj's associate director. If Vishal ji is his film school then Abhishek sure has come out as the best student. Taking wise Udta Punjab is weaker than his last film "Dedh Ishqiya" - That one being unconventionally conventional.
Udta Punjab is content wise stronger and stronger on all other stages being a completely unconventional cinema. He has grown as a director pretty much and here there is no involvement of Vishal Bhardwaj what so ever in this film. Abhishek has treated this film in the best possible manner and the efforts will surely pay off.

Udta Punjab is going to make it to the list of my favourites for sure. And will stay with me for a long long time.

Verdict : 9.5/10

**Kyuke ache ache kaam ko nazar na lage!

TE3N

     The trailer of TE3N showed us Kolkata, Vidya Balan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui & the Kolkata Police rushing here and there. Except for the addition of Mr. Big B, the trailer looked like a thriller, set up in the back-drop of Kahani. Plus it is a Sujoy Ghosh presented film. 

     TE3N, though it has a name of Sujoy Ghosh; it is directed by Ribhu Dasgupta. With a thriller-drama film 'Micheal', directed in 2011 and working with Bachchan Saab in a TV series on Sony called Yudh, which was presented by Anurag Kashyap, Ribhu Dasgupta makes a very mature film.

     TE3N, is a thriller-drama again. John (Amitabh Bachchan) is an aged husband struggling to solve the ignored case of the kidnapping & murder of his only grand-daughter even after 8 years of no lead in the case. Sarita Sharma (Vidya Balan in a guest appearance) is the head of the police department who sympathizes John and is asking him to forget the past. She is there as a replacement of the officer who handled John's case 8 years ago, who resigned and is now a priest in the church. Leaving everything behind Martin (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) chose the path of God to get away from his failure. A persistent efforts  of all three of these, to get to the roots of facts, begin when 8 years later another kidnapping takes place in the city of Kolkata, in an exactly similar method of action.

     Brijesh Jayrajan and Suresh Nair have written a fair adapted screenplay. Being a remake of Korean Film called Montage, putting the references in the Indian and Bengali context does take a lot of study and understanding of the medium, which is done very well by the writers. Dialogues by Ritesh Shah are not too filmy or dramatic. They needed to be precise and certain and to some extent they are.
Story wise, it is a little confusing. But you let it go.

     The film is shot extensively and its carried out very well. Tushar Kanti Ray frames the film very artistically and still keeping it real and inside the city. Music is impactful.  Having a catholic background for two main characters, the choir specialist Clinton Cerejo gives us some good sound tracks. Not like the music stays with you, you don't even remember the songs later, but for the part playing on the screen the tunes complements it.
 

     Editing is the most powerful element of this film. The screenplay being a little non-linear, the editing had to be smart. And yes it is. The meaning of word MONTAGE goes close to EDIT in French and thus it can be a good respect paid to the title of the original film. 100 marks to Gairik Sarkar, the editor, from my side.

     Performance wise, all TE3N of them have done their part of jobs well. Except, with all due respect to his seniority and age, Amitabh Bachachan doesn't seem to come out of his Piku hangover in his body language. His character is supposed to be struggling and tired and he portrays it by being a little bent by the burden of life and walking like an ape in some shots. Apart from that Nawaz is too good. His eyes and his body-language speak a lot. All the supporting characters have also played their part in an appropriate way.

Production Design is at par. A perfect set up for a film of this genre.

     Over all, TE3N has a very few things to complaint about but you don't ultimately understand the worth of all the effort. You don't understand what John got from all this, what is it that the characters of the film get at the end of it. Is it satisfaction, is it justice and what role those superficial emotions play for making it to the end? Why John's wife is on the wheelchair in the present and why she was walking in the past is still the question. Though verbally all the explanations are put forth something still feels unexplained and a little pulled over to be factual and real.
But as I said, You Let go!

Verdict - 7.3/10
