The child actor, Zidane Braz‘s captivating performance, especially in emotional scenes, leaves a lasting impression with his adorable eyes.

I wouldn’t tag Genelia and Manav’s bonding as chemistry. Together they were really good.

The movie sheds light on social issues. A single mother staying with a man unmarried in her house and how Ana’s parents disapprove of it shows the taboo.
