What's good?


The emotions in the movie are the heart touching,
The young actors and actresses are good looking,
This Movie shows the importance of places that ties with your sweet memories.

What's Wrong?


Manisha Koirala as a Parsi mother is a big no, I didn't like it. The character needs more development.
Same old story
Nothing is New

My Advice is you can watch this movie once, If you are a fast forwarder you will at least fast forward 6 to 7 time while watching this movie even without reading this review first.

My rating 2.5/5
