"The film isn’t perfect, but perhaps that is the beauty of young love. It is messy, confusing, and occasionally embarrassing, yet it leaves you with memories that stay long after the moment has passed"

Also: "No Bollywood romance is complete without music, and who better than Rochak Kohli to deliver melodies that move the story forward? The music stays with you long after the film ends, blending seamlessly with the narrative"
