There are moments when the extraordinary merit of the camera used for shooting the movie is doubted. Was the camera destined to focus on the inside of a cup of tea or was it forced to ogle at living and non-living creations of God, including Nathalia Kaur's overexposed assets, without any discrimination and intention? The camera, rarely though, decides to be genuinely creative and spends time on a carrom-board, its men and its striker disk.

Watch if you have nothing better to do.
The perennial "right vs. wrong" debate is put up against a new-sounding "Smartness vs 'an A-Rated word'". This complex debate soon becomes incomprehensible as characters become more and more ambiguous. Vague characters can be interesting but the experimentation with the camera is too distracting for anything else to be processed satisfactorily.

Ticket Meter – Worth 100 bucks only if you have the sense of humor to enjoy it as a comedy.

Of all places one could possibly think of placing a camera, RGVs favourite place is right between the legs. Don’t be disgusted please. Ramu ji always has a reason to justify his actions or at least gives one the opportunity to guess. So as per my guess, this new type of camera shot could be called ‘crotchcam’ or rogue filmmaking.
