Dial 100 Movie Review: What Really Messes Up?

The final outcome of the movie is what really messes up the whole movie. The movie successfully generates interest in the storyline of the movie, and the viewers very desperately wait for the climax.

But after all, this, when the final outcome is not as expected, which destroys the whole credibility of the movie. There were so many movies in the past that win the audiences with just the movie’s climax.

The way a movie wrap is the most essential part of a movie. It can either enhance the underwhelming aspects of the movie or can totally destroy all the good things of a movie. So, the movie’s climax is a massive letdown, and the movie disappoints big time as the things wrap at the climax of the movie.
