Jithin K Probably one of the better ones in the Crime Does Not Pay short series. It's not great but the message doesn't feel like simple copaganda. There are real issues here and real mistakes with the use of selling stolen gang products in retail, unlike a lot of these films used to. It's still not something that really sells any drama other than it being part informational but there were some things that they didn't really hold back and hit hard for the time, like the kid that comes in the middle, so gotta give props for that. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
