Little doodle on the theme of the older man and the very young woman, the directorial debut of screenwriter Audrey Wells. The knowledge that she wrote the script for The Truth about Cats and Dogs will not help this film's star, Sarah Polley, to escape physical comparison (pointy little teeth …
"Two icons of Indian cinema come face to face. This women's day, the war of good vs. evil begins."
