. He has delved into real life incidents and projected the drawbacks of the system. This "Once Upon" was a time when kidnapping was thriving in Bihar.
You tend to connect with the youth who opt for unfair means to earn a decent living. The director mainly focuses on the issue of people from Bihar migrating to different states. He also analyses the stagnancy in the place. However, the audience may find it difficult to accept that the protagonists, who sermonize in the beginning, end up in unfair means.
Certain dialogues are controversial and they may not strike the right chord with the audience.
The flick is shot at locations in Bihar, and there is a sense of authenticity since local people are involved in it.
Star Performance
The relatively less known Bihari locals put up decent performance. However, good actors like

could have been given more scope.
What's there?
1. The plot is relevant to today's world (owing to the elections in Bihar).

What's not there?
1. The films' pace is quite slow.
2. The second half seems to derail from the first half.
3. Some scenes are silly.
3. The film shows to be very preachy.
4. Though it is said that the movie was made in Hindi and Bhojpuri concurrently it seems like a dubbed version.
5. Sometimes the flick appears to be quite over-dramatic.
Verdict
A good attempt but it could have been presented well on screen.
