Reception
Zombivili received positive reviews from the critics for portraying the class
divide during zombie apocalypse.[5] Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India called it
"Zombie apocalypse with a dash of humour," and wrote: "The film begins on a high
note and picks steam soon. However, midway, it loses steam and becomes a drag-fest
before picking up pace again during the climax."[6] Scroll.in reviewer Nandini
Ramnath opined that the film was a tribute to Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead.

Narrative Writer’s Checklist
Be sure to:
•• Develop a real or imagined experience.
•• Include a situation and introduce a narrator and/or characters.
•• Organize events in order.
◦◦ Use words and phrases to show the sequence of events.
•• Use dialogue and/or descriptions of actions, thoughts, and feelings to:
◦◦ develop events.
◦◦ show how characters respond to situations.
•• Include a conclusion.
•• Use ideas and/or details from the passage(s).
•• Check your work for correct usage, grammar, spelling, capitalization, and
punctuation.
Now write your narrative on your answer document. Refer to the Writer’s Checklist
as you write
"Zombivli plays out largely as a comedy with mostly harmless bodies jerking about.
It’s the humans of Dombivli, including the venal Musale and Sudhir’s selfish
neighbours, who prove to be far more dangerous," Ramnath added.[7] Writing for
Maharashtra Times, Kalpeshraj Kubal reviewed the technical aspects and stated: "The
makeup, VFX, cinematography in the film is excellent and linear. A. V. Prafulla
Chandra has done the background music. It stays in mind even after the movie is
over. This zombie will love to see, hear and experience [sic]."[8]slits, an
endostyle, and a post-anal tail: these five anatomical features define this phylum.
Chordates are also bilaterally symmetric; and have a coelom, metameric
segmentation, and a circulatory system.

The Chordata and Ambulacraria together form the superphylum Deuterostomia.

Chordates are divided into three subphyla: Vertebrata (fish, amphibians, reptiles,
birds, and mammals); Tunicata or Urochordata (sea squirts, salps); and
Cephalochordata (which includes lancelets). There are also extinct taxa such as the
Vetulicolia. Hemichordata (which includes the acorn worms) has been presented as a
fourth chordate subphylum, but now is treated as a separate phylum: hemichordates
and Echinodermata form the Ambulacraria, the sister phylum of the Chordates. Of the
more than 65,000 living species of chordates, about half are bony fish that are
members of the superclass Pisces, class Osteichthyes.

Chordate fossils have been found from as early as the Cambrian explosion, 541
million years ago. Cladistically (phylogenetically), vertebrates – chordates with
the notochord replaced by a vertebral column during development – are considered to
be a subgroup of the clade Craniata, which consists of chordates with a skull. The
Craniata and Tunicata compose the clade Olfactores. (See diagram under Phylogeny.)

Anatomy

The glass catfish (Kryptopterus vitreolus) is one of the few chordates with a
visible backbone. The spinal cord is housed within its backbone.
Chordates form a phylum of animals that are defined by having at some stage in
their lives all of the following anatomical features:[4]

A notochord, a fairly stiff rod of cartilage that extends along the inside of the
body. Among the vertebrate sub-group of chordates the notochord develops into the
spine, and in wholly aquatic species this helps the animal to swim by flexing its
tail.
A dorsal neural tube. In fish and other vertebrates, this develops into the spinal
cord, the main communications trunk of the nervous system.
Pharyngeal slits. The pharynx is the part of the throat immediately behind the
mouth. In fish, the slits are modified to form gills, but in some other chordates
they are part of a filter-feeding system that extracts particles of food from the
water in which the animals live.
Post-anal tail. A muscular tail that extends backwards behind the anus.
An endostyle. This is a groove in the ventral wall of the pharynx. In filter-
feeding species it produces mucus to gather food particles, which helps in
transporting food to the esophagus.[5] It also stores iodine, and may be a
precursor of the vertebrate thyroid gland.[4]
There are soft constraints that separate chordates from certain other biological
lineages, but are not part of the formal definition:

All chordates are deuterostomes. This means that, during the embryo development
stage, the anus forms before the mouth.
All chordates are based on a bilateral body plan.[6]
All chordates are coelomates, and have a fluid filled body cavity called a coelom
with a complete lining called peritoneum derived from mesoderm (see Brusca and
Brusca).[7]
