A teaser of the film was released at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival , and received an adverse reaction from social and mainstream media . The film has been heavily criticised for not being considerate towards the families of the individuals onboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 . The film has received heavy criticism especially over its timing , its thriller genre , its romantic subplots , the terrorist undertones and its title . After receiving much criticism on the story of the film , the producers courageously decided to go ahead with the project . RPPL wants to announce the premiere for the film at the Marche du Festival segment of Cannes International Film Festival 2015 . They have now come up with an altogether different storyline , which can be defined as a psychological-thriller . " We respect the sentiments of all those who experienced loss due to the tragedy , and the intention was never to benefit out of it . I ’m a filmmaker and I would like to loosely base the film on one of the most baffling mysteries which has remained unanswered . " says Mr. Rupesh Paul
