Unpaused Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 7.3 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 558.
It’s a collection of short, unrelated stories, told in the backdrop of Covid pandemic and its effects. The effect is sometimes on relationships, old and new, and sometimes at a socioeconomic point of view, and in others it is just a backdrop.
Opinions may vary, and but as my title suggests, you’ll like it if you like short stories, about characters that make you think after the story has ended.
Critics Rating by Renuka Vyavahare, from Times Of India give 3.5 star out of 5 Star.
