Movie Reviews
Very intense and poignant
Beautiful storytelling.
Incredible & essential piece of art
Thank you Aditya & team for making this much needed work. I feel there is a dire need of such art works, which are not kept making commercial output in mind. I hope that films like these get a global audience and commercial support as well. Having lost a near one to suicide, I'm deeply touched by the movie!
Rucha & Harsh have delivered phenomenal performances, special mention to the DOP as well. Most of the scenes have been shot in a theatrical manner, that makes the audience feel that they are sitting in a live show. I would suggest readers to watch this movie alone, to grasp the depth & the effort that the crew has gone through while bringing "Not Today" to light.
