enthralling to the ears. The actors have performed well and given their best.
Comedy scenes are also rib tickling, particularly, the scene in which, it
highlights that, in olden times, swine butchers used to hunt and trap pigs
with hounds but, now the modus operandi has shifted to modern technology, like
the Mobile telephones to hunt and capture the pigs.
