Audience Member Why does this movie look like it was filmed in 1994? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I got nothing out of this movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member romantic slice of life comedy involving siblings, stars of black cinema, and romantic interests. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member One of those hand-made movies that sneaks into festivals and wins friends. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The title is the names their Indian grandmother gave two brothers. Except for that, it has nothing to do with the movie. It;s about relatonships, and how we handle them or mess with them. Good movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Here's some film ratings.
