What Worked
- Light-hearted masala entertainer mixing comedy, crime, and youthful romance. Some comic scenes are engaging and funny. Reddit+10Prabhat Khabar+10nettv4u+10
- The tone remains consistent—colourful visuals, peppy background score, and a refreshingly vibrant look. https://www.lokmatnews.in/nettv4u
Limitation Highlights
- Script described as clichéd and uninspired; fails to engage emotionally or narratively. Film Informationnettv4u
- Performances largely average: Siddharth Sagar and Bhavin Bhanushali have occasional comic flair, but many actors (Ansh Bagri, Chandan Bakshi, Siddhika Sharma, Neha Rana) deliver underwhelming work. Shakti Kapoor and select seniors have fleeting moments. Prabhat Khabar+6Film Information+6nettv4u+6
- Weak screenplay and dialogue: Many reviewer pointed to hollow character arcs, flat humour, and absent depth. nettv4u
Verdict: A one-time watch if you’re in the mood for mindless fun and youthful hijinks; not recommended for those seeking substance.Prabhat KhabarFilm Information
