A good movie is made when there is a balance between the direction, script, music, art, editing, and sound departments and in Sookshmadarshini, this is what happened.

As a cinematographer, I want the scene to maintain the same quality as I shot it. However, quality loss occurs at various levels due to poor projection quality.
