We are waiting for the film to release in India soon. Abeera & Kesar ( Which is strongly portrayed by Ms. Tanima Bhattacharya & Mr. Chetan Sharma ) throw light to the malpractices which are still followed in the country. I am sure that the audience will love both the characters of Abeera & Kesar through their painful journey.”
