The journey towards the end is shot through with beauty, one painterly frame after another evoking admiration, but it did not touch me. And that is where Vikramaditya Motwane's film becomes a disappointing second act, after his magnificent debut Udaan.

There is much to admire in this big budget Hindi film that never falls into the trappings of the 'masala' formula.

...reflective, gentle, lyrical and reads like a letter to our hearts.

It's a rare cinematic outing that exploits the camera and its frames to contextualize the intensity of its storytelling and the restraint of its lead performances, instead of it being the other way round.
