Last but not the least it has been worth the wait for sure; ‘Amen!”.

It’s taken us two years but with ‘Sandook’, It has definitely been worth the wait. Its rich in content, high on humor, packed with action and what makes the film stand out is they very fact that it is set in the pre independence era. We are very confident that Sandook is going to be loved by one and all.”
