[@sufiyan_salaam]

Congratulations on directing such a powerful and motivational film! The emotional impact against vaping and e-cigarettes was conveyed beautifully. Rajesh Sir's acting was outstanding and truly worth mentioning. Pretty teacher also did a remarkable job. The rule of three was applied excellently, enhancing the overall narrative. Great work by everyone involved!

[@johnsondevassy1]

Thank you so much.

Good message for the present generation. The parents' characters were amazing and was well executed. The companions looked isolated without any dialogues. Giving few dialogues for them as well would have been better.

[@johnsondevassy1]

Thank you so much.

[@slay3r821]

best short film i've watched !! rule of 3 applied very nicely sir 🙏🙏

[@johnsondevassy1]

Thank you so much.❤

[@GuestCheck-cv7oh]

very well made, hoping for a part 2 on drinking ❤

[@johnsondevassy1]

Sure 😊

[@Sudha_Ratnakumari]

Superb! All the characters performed nicely. അമ്മ character അഭിനയിച്ച lady super..... പിന്നെ കൂടെ അഭിനയിച്ച രണ്ട് കുട്ടികൾക്കും സംഭാഷണമൊന്നും ഇല്ലായിരുന്നത് ഒരു awkward ആയി തോന്നി. Hope next time you will correct it....any way theme and every thing was so good and parents did an excellent performance ❤

beautiful movie sir deserves an oscar🙏

[@johnsondevassy1]

Thank you so much.

[@angelajulietalexander2259]

The short film conveyed a powerful message, which I really appreciated. However, the friends' acting, especially their dialogue delivery, felt unnatural and bland, like reading off of a school drama script. In the group of four friends, two stood blankly without lines; splitting the dialogues more evenly would have been better. The actors playing the parents did a wonderful job, showing how to calmly handle problems with their child. Overall, great effort and message, but the dialogue distribution needs improvement.

[@johnsondevassy1]

Thank you so much.❤

[@tireddrafts]

This is an evocative exploration of the pernicious allure of peer conformity among impressionable adolescents. The film's narrative, centered on a coterie of youths succumbing to the exigencies of social acceptance through vaping, is both trenchant and timely. The ensemble cast delivers superlative performances, with portraying the protagonist's father, imbuing his role with a profound gravitas that accentuates the film's thematic resonance. adept use of stereotypes to depict the kids adds an incisive layer of realism and social commentary, making the characters' struggles and choices deeply relatable. This cinematic opus is an indispensable viewing experience, exemplifying the director's visionary prowess and the cast's consummate artistry.

[@johnsondevassy1]

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

[@Vacheron-j7h]

I extend unto thee heartfelt felicitations for thy stellar direction and production of a profoundly poignant film, which doth confront the scourge of vaping and e-cigarettes with resounding impact! The emotive depth and motivational resonance of thy creation are commendable. Rajesh Sir's performance hath been exceptional, capturing the essence of his role with consummate skill. Pretty Ma'am, too, hath delivered a performance of considerable merit. The strategic use of the rule of three doth enrich the narrative profoundly. My sincerest admiration doth extend to the entire team for their unwavering dedication and creative acumen in illuminating this crucial societal issue.

[@johnsondevassy1]

Thank you so much.❤

[@ApexO_o]

sir, sir, sir, where do I even begin this short film is of the highest of caliber never seen this motivation this effective building of tension, culminating in a powerful and inspiring moment where she decides to stand her ground and refuse the negatives the support from parents is soul touching and rule of 3 has been applied marvelously, hope to see more of these films from you sir ❤️🙏

[@johnsondevassy1]

Well said

[@christinathomas7735]

The movie was wholesome and really beautiful. Pretty teacher and Rajesh sir did an amazing job. They carried the film really well and it was inspiring. Pretty teacher carried the movie with a lot of grace.
I honestly felt the other characters also could’ve had some dialogues. I think it would add more to the film.
All the best to all of you. To more movies and films to come❤

[@johnsondevassy1]

Thank you so much.❤

[@christinathomas7735]

[@tanciajoy2226]

Good short film! It powerfully addresses an important issue in today's society and delivers a compelling message. All had done their best in portraying their roles. It would have been even more engaging if some of the protagonist's friends had dialogues as it seemed a lil quiet and empty. Just a suggestion. Overall, great work!

[@johnsondevassy1]

Thank you so much.❤

[@unignisstudio]

Nice short film and very meaningful message delivered❤, but it will be more nice if other characters also got some space to speak other than doing nothing
