The movie Zed Square has received critical acclaim as well as mass appreciation as it has broken all yesteryears' records at the box office as well as at each of the major movie award ceremonies. It is ironical, however, that
the two lead actors and the head director are the only ones who seem to be getting all the credit for the masterpiece. True, they did full justice to their roles and if it were not for their performances, the movie would not have achieved such path-breaking success. However,
imagine what the movie would have been if it had outdated special effects, incoherent background score, poor editing, or shabby cinematography? Clearly, the media must do more to pass the credit to the talented contributors who are away from the limelight.
