    The balance of humor and emotions is just right. Love the music as well.

    Vicky Kaushal as always, is effortless in his art. His comic timing is spot-on, and in emotional moments, he genuinely shines. Sara Ali Khan also does well though in some scenes, she could have added more depth. But one thing I wanna wipe out from my memory is that Sara’s stress-eating chocolate…

    Well, it’s a below-average film with a unique story, but the execution didn’t do it justice. Not my cup of tea.

    I don’t wanna spoil anything for you guys, and also if possible, stay away from Letterboxd reviews because they contain spoilers without any warning. I was lucky I didn’t read them before watching this film, and honestly, that made the experience so much better.

    Go in knowing as little as possible, it’s worth it!
