Review:
It teaches us a lot of things about us, and how to respond when someone brainwashing us, especially for young girls and boys who go away from their home to college. At a young age, students are not mature enough to understand the real reason behind the situation. Never make relationships too early with random strangers whom you don't know enough. However, the writer should not have shown the entire community as villainous. They should have rather written a much more balanced story so as to give the facts that happened in reality, and also show that not everyone from that community is bad. A wider viewpoint would have brought to attention the ground reality much more vividly and would have also done so people can't say that it is a propaganda movie.
