Robert Pattinson undoubtedly does a great job at portraying the internal turmoil of Bruce Wayne, but the source of all the chaos in the movie isn't very inventive. Despite Anne Hathaway and Michael Caine having a permanent place in my heart as Catwoman and Alfred, the new versions played by Zoe Kravitz and Andy Serkis are convincing too.

What sets Hridayam apart from many other coming of age films, is the amount of closure it strives for, by giving importance to scenes and characters who would otherwise fade into the background. And with a musical score that feels as fresh as the morning sun, this is an overall good film about life, and the lessons it teaches us.
