User Reviews

Slow-paced but good enough

The film is slow-paced, but overall it's a good one with a strong emotional quotient. Though it could have been made much better. The music is not commercially viable, but the songs do fit in the narrative. The film once again shows that Bobby Deol is a talented actor. But he is still ignored and highly under-rated. His potentials are not tapped enough by high-profile film-makers. Dwij Yadav excels yet again. Bobby Deol's and Dwij Yadav's chemistry is once again visible after Nanhe Jaisalmer. Kangna Ranaut does not have much to do in the movie. She fits better in the Bhatt's camp! Mohnish Behl gave a good account of himself. We should see more of his humble and nice roles in movies.
