I felt it was a decent film and when I planned to book first on Friday evening then Saturday most shows were full. Ultimately I saw on Sunday noon which was also full.
Have stopped following critic reviews altogether. Just chanced upon the headline on rediff home page. Can't agree to the review. It's a very good movie and the trip isn't a dull one. It just didn't get into showing you the touristy things or doing a promotion of South India Tourism.
Well. Not even the best movie will satisfy critics. Glad I don't go by the reviews.
