Tharun Bhascker’s filmmaking style and writing showcased in Keeda Cola managed to impress the audience, albeit in parts. This positive response is sure to be reflected in hype for his next film whenever he announces.
In short, Tharun Bhascker holds a promising future, but he shouldn’t take it for granted.
