Cast

Production

After a gap of 9 years, the Guinness record holding teenage director Kishan Shrikanth came up with the idea of making a sequel to his first installment Care of Footpath. Terming the film as "not a typical sequel", the director said it took 3 years to conceive and conceptualize the subject for the film. He visited the real street children who had their brush with crime and understood their plight which resulted him to form a screenplay.[3]

Reception

Critical response

International

On 5 November 2015, the LA Times reviewed the film as "an exercise in excess" and drew parallels of the film making style to that of Danny Boyle's films. The film criticized the plot as a "bombastic, overlong melodrama that doesn't recognize the occasional need to takes things down a decibel or three" while praising the lead performances.[4]

In India

Upon release in India, the film garnered critical reviews with the Bangalore Mirror rating the film 3.5 Stars quoting 'From beginning to end, the movie does not let you down with its fast narrative and constant entry and exit of characters.' [5]
