2018 is turning out to be an eventful year... Content-based films - belonging to diverse genres - have found wholehearted acceptance from moviegoers... Audience feedback in times of social media spreads faster than fire and can make/break a film on Day 1 itself...— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) October 8, 2018
