Script Review and Director Analysis : The script is lacking and dragging , with not much scope of a story . Though the director tries to send across a message that today’s young generation needs to overcome their fears and enjoy life .. After English Vinglish there were lots of expectations from Gauri Shinde , but with this movie she fails to give a good story and lacks entertainment

Final Words : Once watch . Appealing more to more urban youngsters
