The direction is one of the weakest links of this film. Zaigham Imam has a story at hand, that needed a treatment less dramatic and more impactful. What we get is, poor camera work instead.
The film flaws are evident in certain scenes such as a budding rooftop romance, where there is a confluence of poor performances and not-so-perfect vision of the director.
Also, the supposed powerful scene where Ali takes his Madarsa ( Islam) flag to school on a Republic day is highly an unacceptable scene. Everyone in India, including those from the Islamic community are aware that an Indian flag is hoisted on that day. Also, Ali’s teacher abusing him with such hatred is overdone here.
The pace of the film gets extremely slow in the second half and the climax is stretched to play with your patience.
Editing is shoddy and certain scenes are abruptly cut and left without any continuation ahead.
Music too is unimpressive and it would have been helpful, had they worked on a good background score.
