User Reviews

Too much over hyped but still worth watching.

I really was waiting for virsa. After the music and the trailers the film seemed it may brake all records. I entered the cinema with much enthusiasm but the film did'nt meet my expectations. It opened up with a beautiful scene but soon lost it flow the film became boring in the middle. Aryan babar was quite good with his job,playing his character well. Maheen Raheel also impressed me with her talent. Gulshan Grover and Nouman Ijaz were also outstanding. The problem was with the plot.

But still this film is worth watching especially for the Punjabi community as it gives real touch of N.R.Is and their love for their country. I would rate it as above average but not as good as it sounded like
