Thank you Aditya & team for making this much needed work. I feel there is a dire need of such art works, which are not kept making commercial output in mind. I hope that films like these get a global audience and commercial support as well. Having lost a near one to suicide, I'm deeply touched by the movie!

Rucha & Harsh have delivered phenomenal performances, special mention to the DOP as well. Most of the scenes have been shot in a theatrical manner, that makes the audience feel that they are sitting in a live show. I would suggest readers to watch this movie alone, to grasp the depth & the effort that the crew has gone through while bringing "Not Today" to light.

Couldn't had been a better way to show this scenario depicting both the characters from their different backgrounds and who have their different stories. This film shows awareness on a lot of subjects but mainly the life of a suicide counselor. Also how much of this world needs people like them and how much of this people too needs people like them. I hope this movie helps people in the world facing same kinds of issue and people who watch this know how important it is to be sensitive towards people going through a hard time and get them the right help they need.

Overall a great movie. Loved it.

We often hear and read about suicide victims or about those who have attempted suicide. It's not often that we get to know about the people who work at suicide prevention hotlines. For me, this is the main USP of this film - its unique angle that's often overlooked.

While Harsh Chhaya is an established actor and essays his role really well as expected, I really liked Rucha Inamdar's performance as the suicide prevention counselor. Both actors are vulnerable with their emotions and their natural, organic style of acting helps take the story forward.

The pacing, however, was a bit of a letdown for me. The movie gets off to a great start - it had me engaged, the lead character of Aliah was interesting, and so was the premise. But after the 30 minute mark things suddenly slowed down and the tension that was built in those first 30 mins almost seemed to vanish. It started to feel more just like a chat between two people exchanging stories from their life. While it was interesting to uncover the lead characters' backgrounds, I felt the sense of urgency that was required in a story like this was lost.

As expected from a story that revolves around suicide, things do come to a head at the end, but I felt a little reminder here and there during the major chunk of the runtime would've been effective in keeping the audience on its toes. But maybe this wasn't the purpose that the writer and director, Aditya Kripalani, had for this piece. Maybe he meant for it to be a character exploration rather than a tale of trepidation and suspense. In which case, he definitely succeeded.

Nevertheless, it's a story that needed to be told and needs to be watched, so I'd definitely recommend you do. I'd like to thank the team at Mumba Devi Motion Pictures and also Aditya Kripalani for giving me access to the preview screener for this film and allowing me to freedom to give an honest review. Hope to see more thought-provoking films like this one being made by you!
