Being a filmmaker myself, I couldn't help but applaud Hemwant Tiwari's audacious approach to connecting with the audience. His courage in bringing forth a one-shot, 1-hour 40-minute black and white masterpiece is truly commendable leaving me inspired.

Although I've stepped away from Instagram, I've urged my team to share any content Hemwant posts about the film. I regret not having as much courage.

Hemwant's relentless promotion of Lomad left no stone unturned. As someone with a keen eye for art works in films, like 1917 with its selective scenes, Lomad's continuous single-shot format for its entire duration is a delightful surprise.

Anticipating it would potentially lack adventure, I was eager to watch at what cost. Lomad began like a drama, seamlessly transitioned into a crime thriller. The use of remarkable tent poles throughout the narrative was sometimes hard to believe, showcasing the profound transformation people can undergo.

Lomad skillfully portrayed the concept that everyone harbors a stranger within themselves. People may present an admirable facade to the world and to their loved ones, but the film compellingly suggests that true understanding requires delving into the unknown - becoming Lomad.

With a plot filled with twists and turns, Lomad captivated and engaged me. The meticulous cinematography, coupled with a wonderful plot, delivered a message alongside a genuine work of art. While the script had its merits, there was a slight margin for improvement.

Lomad left me thoroughly entertained, offering both a powerful message and a visually stunning work of art. Looking forward to meet the man himself one day.

Kudos to the Lomadis of Lomad! Making a single-shot B/W movie like this, requires vision, conviction, meticulous planning, a 'lomadic' street-smartness and above all, a lot of courage! Loved the passion with which each character was portrayed, the usage of the screen real estate, the cinematography and the way the story was stitched together. The forest, the black and white rendition, the background sounds (of chirping birds...) all added to the rustic and raw appeal that made the story-telling even more gripping. Also, how even the time-lapse was depicted, without affecting / jarring the single shot objective. More power to you Hemwant and team Lomad!

This is the first black and white single shot movie with great performances. Here we go and much watch this movie in PVR cinemas, unbelievable film....hard works by entire lomad team and acting on my God....superb...phenomenal performance, excellent dialogues. The actors have done a great job.

This is an absolutely wonderful film that nobody should miss...brilliant performance.

A much talked about movie but still not much enough people. You shouldn't miss this movie.

If you're looking for something different, you might love it.

It might even become your favorite.

Lomad is world's first single take film , it's hard to believe because when you watch the film it's REALLY unbelievable how the did the slow motion shots in a single take which the director has explained in his interviews.

One has to deep understanding and skills to create something like this. Unlike Irivan Nizhal where I could clearly see a object in front of the camera hiding the screen which is not a single take film but they are advocating it as one .... Where as LOMAD is CLEARLY a single shot film and also entertaining with a good story. I recommend this movie to everyone to watch. Acting is great of the whole crew.

An iconic masterpiece that captured my heart from start to finish! The story engrossed me in its world, while the impeccable direction brought it to life with sheer brilliance.

The thought-provoking dialogues added depth and resonance to the characters, making them unforgettable. The screenplay was a masterpiece of storytelling. Creativity at its best . A true gem that deserves all the accolades! Great film. The power packed performance, great dialogues, emotion, and the soul-stirring work created lasting impression. All the best to the entire team for such great work and wish you all great success.

Dude, you have done something LAJAWAAB !!!! Never seen before , something which keep me alert , my thought process electrifying , pasted to seat . Wow the acting part of whole team is just great which justify their character , The name LOMAD is perfect for the film . I remember you from promotional way and it catches my eye to watch. The storyline is AWESOME ..is it really SINGLETAKE ? Yes my friends it is as i did not found any cuts in it and its historical in our lifespan to catch up such movie. Great Movie Team and Thank you for presenting this . With you over instagram for sometime has motivated me watch your movie and it is best way .You justified it.

One of best black and white movies ever seen.. 1hr 40min with no camera cut.. continuous camera movement.. the efforts everyone of team put together is something beyond expectation.. knowing that during shooting if anyone makes a mistake then you have to shoot the entire film again, for that hats off to actors, cinematographer, the #lomad team... g # and Mr. Hemwant Kumar Tiwari, he is the true gem , actor, director, camera director too, the thinking is out of the box.. #kolkata just go and witness this world-class movie already received 20 awards and 28 nominations and make the records of getting most awards to any black and white one-shot film.

LOMAD ventures into uncharted cinematic territory, presenting a remarkable achievement with its single-shot, black and white approach. The film's audacious concept is a visual feast, weaving an intricate narrative within the confines of a continuous sequence.

The monochromatic palette proves to be an inspired choice, enhancing the film's mood and depth. Shadows and contrasts are used ingeniously to mirror the emotional journey of the characters. This visual restraint paradoxically allows for a richer exploration of their inner struggles and desires.

The performances are a testament to the actors' skill and the director's guidance. The absence of cuts demands a level of immersion and dedication that is admirably met.

Single shot is easy to say but to create is extremely tough but Hemwant Ji & Team Lomad, you made it happen. I have witnessed the team work over the screen so can visualize your effort over the span and extreme pain of thought to putting on screen journey is next to impossible. Kudos to the direction, cinematography is at its best. The promotions style was absolutely unique. Saw you in the Delhi Metro so went to watch in Noida along with Family. Storyline is wow, usage of location for 97 minutes movie. Keeping me intact to chair was amazing feeling. Superb work my friend.

The film was a fresh and new experience. I was little dicey about it because of black n white color. But I am so glad I watched it, Quite a roller coaster ride of emotions in this single take movie.

Lomad is a very unique movie. So impressed by this boy Hemwant Tiwari. The fact that he wrote directed and acted and promoted his film makes it more ravishing !! It's very gripping and keeps you involved .. actors have performed brilliantly. LOVED THE COP AND ABHAY's acting.

It's a must watch for every person .. you not only enjoy the movie but also learn so much from it. The unexpected turns makes the story even more intreguing Hemwant you took a very bold step and keep creating such magical films for the audiences like me We want to watch something new and entertaining Best of wish to lomad.

Lomad is an extraordinary film and a treat for cinephiles. Auroshika Dey gives an intensely unsettling performance. Rest of the cast also gives us a stellar performance. As writer director, Hemwant Tiwari delivers a great film. The film has amazing twists and turns that keeps you hooked till the last shot of the film. The film is shot entirely in one single take by cinematographer Supratim Bhol, and one never misses any nuanced moment in the film. Supratim cinematography is seamless and you are in awe of the choices he had made while capturing the performances in one take. Lomad is a must watch.

This movie was an experience in itself. From the story line, to the direction, every character played its part. After some time, as an audience, we forget that this is a single take film and look for more, which the film 100% delivers on.

Superb acting skills by Auroshikha Dey and Hemwant Tiwari who held the screen together for the 1st half of the film and kept the audience engaged through the second half of the story line.

The film's pacing is a standout feature, keeping the audience engaged without overwhelming them. As each clue unravels, the plot thickens, leading us down a path of deception where nothing is as it seems. The cinematography plays a pivotal role in building this atmosphere, utilizing dimly lit alleyways, rustic streets, and deserted roads amplify the feeling of uncertainty.

This is a MUST WATCH!!

Fantastic piece of art. It's a must watch for all the upcoming independent film makers.

How hemwant Tiwari has managed to tell a story at one location with all the twist and turns. First half is so important for the second half to happen and second half makes the movie so amazing

I have so many favorite films of mine at one location but this is special as it's in ONE SHOT.

The performances are so amazing. The second half chemistry between both the actors is just so awesome

It's crazy to see the breathing the emotions the restlessness the anxiety the psycho element that hemwant has shown in the second half

Being a one shot how did he manage to pull off direction acting writing and being a film maker I know what a chaos it is during shoot. To my surprise he has handled production as well.

Wow!!!!

Watch this for the love of cinema.

The decision to film in monochrome is a stroke of genius, giving the narrative a timeless quality. Shadows and contrasts take center stage, becoming characters in their own right. The absence of color directs focus to the intricate emotions playing out on screen, inviting the audience to dive into the characters' internal landscapes.

The single-shot technique, while ambitious, pays off in capturing the raw essence of moments. Every frame unfolds seamlessly into the next, creating an almost voyeuristic intimacy with the characters. The unbroken perspective serves as a powerful metaphor for the continuity of life, where every second is connected to the next.

"LOMAD" is a striking testament to the power of simplicity. This one-shot, black-and-white marvel released today showcases an unparalleled level of storytelling ingenuity. The raw emotions captured within this single unbroken frame are utterly captivating. The monochromatic palette adds a layer of depth, highlighting every nuance of the characters' expressions. The film's audacious approach demands the audience's unwavering attention, allowing them to be fully immersed in the unfolding drama. With masterful direction and impeccable performances, "LOMAD" is an avant-garde triumph that pushes the boundaries of cinematic art, leaving a profound impact that lingers long after the screen fades to black.

Determination and Dedication reflects in the approach of the making of the movie. A flaming passion to do something innovative in the Film to keep the flag high. The story played by whole team will keep you engaged and bundle of twist/turns will happen .

Provided the support to next level this movie has all aspects to be nationalized as it is already unique with its SINGLESHOT unlike previous acclaimed by others.

The technique used to create the whole movie is also experimental and is successful. I am 100% satisfied with idea , making , cast , location , usage to optimum . Everything looks real to me and it has all aspects to gain momentum .. Love to Director Hemwant and team .keep growing.

Well to start with it was a unique idea in this era of all masala films. To do it in one shot was a really challenging task. But Hemwant and team has done it exceptionally well. Story is very interesting and all characters have done an excellent job considering that there were no editions.

Movie keeps you glued to the seat with different turns in the story. And backed team has done pro job to keep the set (objects, cars, bikes) clean as in the story moves on.

It's not easy to do all these with no cuts & it shows the hardwork that team had put in. So Kudos to the direction.

After watching the movie I am not surprised with list of awards Lomad has won globally. I am eager to see how Indian Cinema will appreciate such a talented team.
