Going beyond all limits of audaciousness, they (sons) eventually tied up the girl in the basement. The poor girl is used as a play thing by all the neighbourhood children.Here the story takes u turn when a boy, who lives next door, has become friends with the girl. He has a growing sense of unease about the “games” which are taking a very sinister turn, yet he is powerless to change the course of events.The script of the movie is superb and well written. Effective direction and outstanding performance mesmerize audience. Audience feels the pain of the girl on screen.As they know that their mother is supporting them and encouraging them to perpetrate more against the girl, they turn very savage and their brutality knows no bound against the girl.Movie has successfully carved out the pain of orphans on silver screen.
