“Few movies touch you in a way where silence is the loudest applause and tears are the honest review.” Lauding her brother-in-law, Mira wrote, “Ishaan, you have filled our hearts with pride.

The movie talks about two childhood buddies from a small village in North India who dream of becoming police officers, hoping that the job will bring them the respect they have always craved. However, little did they know that, as they came closer to their goal, pressure and struggles would create problems in their friendship.
