Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 26 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

The story revolves around two phases of the lives of three comrades - before and after the imprisonment of Sakhav Nettoor Stephen, Sakhav T.K. Antony and Sakhav Sethulakshmi, members of the Communist Party of India.
