Watched 365 DNI bec of the noise it created. Can I just say that the movie IS TOO OVERRATED. I can only cringe over their lines, predictable story plot, and unrealistic twists.

You know what it is called when u fall in love with ur kidnapper? Its Stockholm Syndrome. Not love sis
fiction is a safe space for women to explore their sexuality without fear or shame and if you criticize them for it you’re just another byproduct of internalized misogynism and the gross Puritanical standards imposed upon women for centuries send tweet. #365DNI

The end of the film leaves fans on a cliff hanger whether the lead actor comes out of the tunnel or not. This has led fans to believe the film might get a sequel. It is also said that the film might get a sequel as the film is based on a trilogy of books. In the second 365 DNI book, the story picks up from the point that reveals that the lead's whole family has been abducted by the rival family. The sequel of the film might show how Massimo gets Laura to safety by doing his best. Other than this, it is also reported that the second part of the book might show Massimo and Laura getting married.
Furthermore in the third novel shows Laura getting pregnant with Massimo's child. The book then takes a dark turn as Laura is shot and he Massimo has to decide between saving the baby or saving his lady love. It can only be speculated whether the makers of the film decide to make the films along the same lines as the novels. There also is a possibility that the last two novels might be merged into one and a film will be made accordingly.
