User Reviews

Failed religious bigoted attempt at a religious bigoted love story.

Gone are the days where stories were told from an unbiased point of view. The movie at times attempts at a take on "love jihad" but fails miserably because of a loose plot and weak acting. The pace of the movie is rather slow but the plot tends to get lost as the direction tends to bring about an unnecessary one sided religious focus with frequent religious references. The cinematography and visuals are rather good and some of the soulful sufi music in the movie does not suffice to save the movie and the viewers from their miserable plight. Weak attempt.
