Rituparna Sengupta: A children’s adventure film in Tollywood is a welcome change from what we see. There are very few such films here. Today’s children are either busy with gadgets or their studies. Such films will help them unwind. If my children, Rishona and Ankan, are here, they would love to watch it, as both love adventure films, and so do I.

This is the first ever original movie made by Raj Chakrobarty. Virtualsid

The film gives out an important message — we should help save the environment.
