🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This film operates as a cerebral thriller where the primary suspect is the very nature of scientific truth. Director Aditya Srivastava withholds easy judgment, instead dissecting the ecosystem of pressure, patriotism, and profit that enabled the scandal.

What lingers after the credits is a profound unease about the mechanisms of belief we deploy in the name of progress. It's a cautionary tale for the age of bioengineering, masterfully told. — MovieFinder Editorial
