The effort and intention to make a quality film are clearly visible. From the performances of all the actors, even those with just a one-minute screen presence to the background score, cinematography and the director's brilliant shot taking that makes you feel like you're watching a national-level film. Everything feels top-notch something rarely seen in Odia cinema.

The first half builds up beautifully and sets high expectations. But sadly, the second half lets it down a bit. The story remains engaging but fails to leave a fully satisfying impact by the end. The immense potential to elevate this film to a national standard is lost due to its average climax. Still you walk out feeling proud after watching it.

As an Odia cinema lover I would still say-watch it all with your family for the sheer effort, craft and vision behind it.

Yes, I'm a bit disappointed, knowing we had a chance to create history at the national level but missed it otherwise this film gives you something that you never experienced in an Odia movie ever & Aparajita Mohanty's character had the potential to be remembered like Udandi Sita, if only it had been handled better in the second half. She did a great job.

Even so how can we ignore the dedication and passion poured into making a film like this? As an Odia, this is a film we simply shouldn't miss in theatres.

Hats off to director Jagadish Das Mohanty, Gourav Anand & Babushan Mohanty.
