Star Performance
Amith Chakkalakkal and Jacob Gregory did their best to fit in the characters. Shagun Jaswal is okayish with her role.
Analysis
Although we have seen a lot of films dealing with people working abroad and stuck with some issues, this one is a bit different. But, the film could have reached better if the screenplay had been better. Some of the characters are not well written, and some disappear half the way. Similarly, the dialogues are not impressive, consuming only time and nothing valid. The cinematography is decent, but the editing should have been better.

Verdict
Though the plot is good, the execution and the editing are weak. With a story with a vast scope to explore things, the makers failed to bring it out. However, the film is watchable once!
