After having seen the Hindi Medium, always wanted to see this 'sequel' although it is just in the name. This one is equally good. Although at times it seems to be more like a 'Comedy of errors' except that it is not much of comedy. Just superficially light humour. But the acting from each and every single person is good. Location and setting is homely and the dialog+dialect makes this movie worthy of watch.

This movie has to be seen only for the two long takes! Undoubtedly the best cinematography experience ever. The entire movie is taken as if one one shot (from the experience of the actor) but one can make out the break in between. That's ok because narration had to move from evening to night. Tale itself is simple but everything is in the film-making. The setting is superb especially with the dead bodies and rats going in and out. Reminded me of Behind Enemy Line and No Man's Land. I wonder how each actor had memorized the script and how well each person acted at his allotted time & place - even though it is a movie, it is made so realistically.

An unbelievable true story of Tami Ashcraft who survived on the ocean on a broken yacht for 41 days. And it is not just the tale that is fascinating, even the film-making is superlative. The cinematography is fantastic. The scene where the camera-man falls from the cliff along with the hero into the beautiful river is just breath-taking, and so are the 40-foot wave scenes which is on the same likes of Life of Pi and Titanic. In fact, the very first scene itself is one long continuous shot which underlines what's to come. Add to this the beautiful location of Tahiti and ever-changing colourful horizon plus very natural acting by the two protagonists makes this a nice complete package.
