At the end it felt vey empty.
Its like even PRAYAAG don't know what he wants to say.
Set-up was good but under-utilized.
Some really good scenes.
A good one time rend, which you'll forget in few days.

A very good book that talks about the tussle between Gandhian philosophy and casteism in India, showing a day in the life of a character named Bakha. Must read.
