A deep & detailed essay into why a momma's boy is NEVER to be trusted.

It's a struggle of two sisters as one (Lena) is soon to be married and the other (Ria) is completely against it. As ridiculous as Ria's efforts may seem to break up the marriage, it's easy to forget that she's right to be suspicious. Lena is still in a vulnerable place after dropping out of art school due to feelings of inadequacy. Plus the marriage happens after merely a month after Lena and Salim met, and he's making her move to the other side of the world straight after. What was fun to see was seeing Ria discover that she was right from the beginning but still having to go through the character development to succeed. Because being right is not going to help if she can't reconnect with Lena, and be honest with her and herself.

There's a deeper meaning in the story about the role that women play in passing misogyny to the next generation. Raheela had her future taken away from her when she forced to marry straight out of school, and she was ready, along with her son, to take advantage of another young girl to give herself another shot at life. Something about "those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it". Plus the fact that Salim was (quite literally) going to use Lena to recreate his mother, it's a quite on-the-nose metaphor but effective.

Cool action scenes, cool dance break. It's trope-y at times but still a very fun watch.
