Analysis

The movie is environmentally driven, the movie focuses on how two different classes of children forgoing their mutual difference come together for one good cause. The movie instills the feeling of unity and needs to take steps in the right direction for all us. But the film also has its cons. The movie doesn't connect with its audience. The movie is too superficial to get connected with the minds of its audience. The only good thing about the entire 100 minutes feature is Tom Alter, the actor has given his best to the movie but the move to kill him off in the movie is a bummer. The movie should have had him throughout as he was the only one who made it bearable. Two successive shocks, one of the joined forces of the builder and the politician and the death of their professor leaves the students to take up the matter in their hands. Though the idea and intention of the movie are noble and helping the execution did not quite make it to the list.

Star Performances

The movie has got a good star cast. Nowhere is the character out their skin and they do their designated job with utmost conviction. Tom Alter is the star of the film, he is what truly drives the story forward. The children in the film are also phenomenal with the antagonist of the film.
