It was a very good film. Its direction was good. The story of the film is interesting. It was an Indian film. The story takes place in a village called Vidharba in Maharashtra, where there are lot of farmer suicides. The editing of the film was good and was done by Suchitra Sathe. I also liked the music and sound effects in this film. The storu of this film was about the poor farmers in India. They were faced to a huge difficult situation.

Treeless Mountain

This was a South Korean film. The story was very interesting and I liked it because it talked about the difficulties of two small children which they face in their lives. Direction of this film was good and the editing was well done. The title of the film was in every way similar to its story.

It was a tamil film. The direction of this film was very good and the music too was good. Music direction was done by Sabesh-Murali. It was a love story. The director Cheran was also the hero of the film and talked about the deep love of Lenin and Nadheera. Cheran is one of the greatest director in tamil cinema.

Kerala Café

I liked this film because this included ten different stories directed by ten different directors. Direction was good. Each story had a different name. The film gave a valuable message to us. Directors of this film were Shyamaprasad, Lal Jose, Shaji Kailas, B. Unnikrishnan, Revathy, Anwar Rasheed, Padmakumar, Anjali Menon, Uday Anandan and Shankar Ramakrishnan. All stories in this film were related to a journey

I also did not like some films. They are:

The Place Without Limits
