Analysis: The core of the story may look old, but the presentation of this movie is new. The screenplay is so crisp that it makes the audience engage them along with the film. The second half may be uncertain. But we can follow back the film in some time. This movie is completely for the younger demographic. Abhijit Deshpande's dialogues were powerful and catchy. In spite of longer time duration, the eccentric cinematography technique followed did not make the audience feel bored. Ranjit Barot's background score was brilliant. The beat that accompanies the chase sequences creates goosebumps. 'Koya Koya Chand' made a hit.
