Flixster F @RT77094268 04/09/2024 It excels at showing how the elder brother/sister of the family have to take responsibility and make sacrifices for the family, giving a low priority to their own happiness. Also shows the hypocrisy of the society but I guess some situations can't be escaped regardless of the truth. The actors aren't that good and that too impacts the effectiveness of the story.
