It is easy to get carried away with Suatu Ketika, a film that delivers its message – the need to work together despite the differences to achieve something – loud and clear.

This worthy message is complemented further by touching scenes revolving around new and old friendships as well as the bond between a father and a son. Tears and laughter come hand in hand in this film from first-time film director Prakash Murugiah, who also wrote the screenplay.
