What makes the whole act even endearing is the Amazing chemistry and comfort between the actors.Its looked so simple(Natural) and easy. But I` bet that ease is amazingly complicated to accomplish and the actors would have slogged to get the sync / simplicity. Among the things I ascertained was subject of actors on stage .The performers made certain the point was clean, at every place the postage's trickled down as a piece of the act or only when it fell at random .The same discipline reflected in their performance too.To place at some performance's in specificfelt MRF was littleeffort-ed at couple of places.Also the finish went little tangent to the story stitched for the end in the beginning two sequence's and so the rear on lead with what audience had suggested.
