Thank you Aditya & team for making this much needed work. I feel there is a dire need of such art works, which are not kept making commercial output in mind. I hope that films like these get a global audience and commercial support as well. Having lost a near one to suicide, I'm deeply touched by the movie!
Rucha & Harsh have delivered phenomenal performances, special mention to the DOP as well. Most of the scenes have been shot in a theatrical manner, that makes the audience feel that they are sitting in a live show. I would suggest readers to watch this movie alone, to grasp the depth & the effort that the crew has gone through while bringing "Not Today" to light.

Very crucial subject and excellect performance.
Couldn't had been a better way to show this scenario depicting both the characters from their different backgrounds and who have their different stories. This film shows awareness on a lot of subjects but mainly the life of a suicide counselor. Also how much of this world needs people like them and how much of this people too needs people like them. I hope this movie helps people in the world facing same kinds of issue and people who watch this know how important it is to be sensitive towards people going through a hard time and get them the right help they need.
Overall a great movie. Loved it.
