The movie carries the story in most of the accuracy what we have so far learned. Some might not be convinced by the ending shown by the crew. Acting skills by Kangna and Jishan Aayub were amazing. They showed potential by taking up challenging roles opposite/different than what they were potraying in the past. But not too much input provided by other actors. Songs were totally unneeded. Actions, Dialogues, Screenplay and Narration saved the sinking ship. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
