The expressions, dialogue delivery, and timing were on point, and they delivered what was needed. The only thing that the audience felt was occasionally Lara’s expressions were quite over else, the acting department of the film is great.

Next, the visuals, the film’s cinematography is good but could have been better. Some shots could have been much better if taken from a different angle but if looked carefully, then only it was noticeable, else the audience enjoyed the stunning visuals and the colour play the makers had done with the film. The film uses vibrant and bright colours, which surely adds to the good experience of the film.

The music of the film is also good and blends with the scenes perfectly, but some scenes followed the sad theme, and there was an exciting, and surprising kind of music used it felt out of sync and surely did not feel great. Overall the music works in the film was good.
