Another fine anti-establishment follow up to Newton from Amit Masurkar with a more grounded approach. Loved it. ❤❤❤ pic.twitter.com/s2dv1RDBkb

Here are some other reactions to the film:
Do watch movie "Sherni" On amazon Prime. It's about a forest officer handling a man eater crisis along with all the extra pressure. I found the movie to be very real. If possible, do share your experience @ParveenKaswan @susantananda3 @SudhaRamenIFS #Sherni
