Let me try to tell what went wrong technically without revealing the story..
Firstly the anecdotes or the screenplay was pretty messed up and confusing, its like when you show the protagonist's entry when not expected and then moved on to the slow pace back drop story..
The music was fusion with folk songs, but ruined it with the over electronic experimental beats here and there which was totally unnecessary. The chorus and singer's voice was over used during the screenplay which made it quite monotonous and tamed the interest in the movie.. overall wrong choice of music directors.
Screenplay was dull and dark, which didn't quite engage as an audience at all. could have been way better, brighter, with engaging side actors and alive. The cast of childhood actors was wrong, where the girl looks bigger, aged and stronger than the boy, whereas she should've been an innocent looking little girl to make the story more convincing that he fell for an innocent girl..
There were artistic scenes here and there with slow motion which felt like an advertisement on television. The story was good, but the execution was bad, the direction, cinematography, screenplay, and music.. all were messed up and didn't accompany each other. Whereas the acting of the lead character in adulthood was good but proved of least use. Hence, a great opportunity was missed.
