I am going with this harsh rating solely for the misleading premise and that terrible final twist which undid any limited positive aspect this movie tried to have and that one good romantic song which was well shot too. I always had an issue with the final act of Jayathirtha's and it took a drastic turn to worse this time. As far as the movie go, the premise has nothing to do with what was promoted and at the core, remains a silly love story.

To share the spoiler, the movie tries to be a time travel based one until it's not and turns into a time loop one, again until it decides it isn't. What it does try to be is a love story with somewhat passable lead actors, supported with credible cinematography and music. Needless to say, Sujay Shastry once again shines in an forgettable venture. The screenplay barring those time loop shenanigans, is pretty ordinary one with the hero trying to get heroine to forgive his mistake. It is "okay" as long it sticks to that script.

Anything else, simply shows the lack of good writing as the story moves forward aimlessly, only the crash and burn thanks to that awful reveal in the end, rendering the movie utterly pointless.
