User review:

As I write this review 1897 people rated it and 633 wrote a review, needless to say the ratings have been tempered with. Half of Yorkshire probably rated it and them being very proud they couldn’t rate it fairly. The amount of ten stars ratings are ridiculously high which results in an average movie scoring a 7.9 on IMDb. It’s a shame but you can’t do anything about it once you get all the members of the family from the cast, friends, and friends of friends spreading the word to rate this movie. It looks like an Indian scam to be honest. That said the movie is watchable, but it’s more the kind of movie you watch on television on a rainy sunday afternoon, nothing special about it. The acting isn’t awful, but it isn’t award winning either. The cinematography contains nice landscapes and that’s a bonus. As for the story it’s a drama like we’ve seen a million times before, again nothing mesmerizing.
