“Third Person Singular Number” would have to be the most promising film of the year. The crowd and presence of audience says the scene is changing gradually with the tremendous effort of some filmmakers. They have watched some good films like “Monpura,” “Third Person Singular Number” and they want to watch these types of films more. Peoples are start believing that again they will throng the cinema halls.
