Plot: The story of the movie is about women who have not stepped out of her house for 20 years. It is said that the reason behind it is that she couldn’t find a single man to marry her. The two girls living in the same town get to know about her story and they decide to start dropping fake letters at her doorstep that basically are love letters from a prospect she met many years back. The letters bring a light of hope into Maya’s life and she decides to sell off everything she had and move to him where he lived. The girls soon realise their mistake and one of them wishes to confront Maya with the truth but the other asks her to not so which in turn becomes a reason of major fight between the two and they part ways. Later the story progresses to the capital city where the Maya had come looking for her love. And the girls again join to find her in the big city and to know what happened to her. Review: The story of the movie is gripping but the execution is a tad too slow. Till interval, the movie seems unnecessarily dragged tough it picks up the pace post interval. The content of the movie is strong and it clearly is a winner as a comeback movie of actress Manish Koirala. The other two girls Shreya Chaudhary and Madiha Imam in the movie look pretty though their acting skills still need some polish. Direction: The direction and the story of the movie completely belong to Sunaina Bhatnagar.  The movie marks her debut in as a Director and the direction of the movie is decent, though we see a  little glitch in the pace. But it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the direction has been done honestly and the message, which the movie has tried to bring forward, is strong and clear. Music Reivew:  Sunaina choose Anupam Roy for the music of this film. Anupam is a Bengali films music composer, who debuted in Bollywood with ‘Piku’, two songs in ‘Pink’, and one song in ‘Running Shaadi’. The songs are good, and are perfectly placed in the movie. Why To Watch: We would recommend you to watch the movie to see the once tinsel town’s most beautiful actress in an completely new avatar. With her age and experience her acting has also been polished many folds and this role is definitely her breakthrough in the industry once again.
