Our take

School exams are hard. Sometimes the only way to pass is to enlist the help of a shaman and curse any kid that’s smarter than you. Two brothers get more than they bargained for in Tamaash, a miniature Kashmiri charmer as rich in local color as it is rewarding in its pair of pint-sized performances.
