    This film falls far short of even the most basic standards of quality and does not warrant even a single star rating.

    The movie was a complete disaster. It was a waste of money and The movie was a complete disaster. From the moment the opening credits rolled, it was clear that the film was plagued with problems. The plot was incoherent, the dialogue was stilted, and the acting was subpar at best. It was as if the filmmakers had taken every possible misstep and combined them into one colossal failure.

    The storyline, which should have been the backbone of the movie, was confusing and disjointed. It seemed as though the script had gone through numerous rewrites, resulting in a muddled mess that left the audience scratching their heads. Characters were introduced without proper context, and their motivations were never clearly explained. This lack of coherence made it impossible to become invested in the narrative or care about what happened to the characters.

    Speaking of the characters, the casting choices were questionable. The actors, some of whom have delivered solid performances in other projects, seemed out of place and unable to breathe life into their roles. The protagonist lacked charisma, making it difficult for the audience to root for them. Meanwhile, the supporting cast was given little to work with, resulting in performances that felt phoned in and uninspired. The lack of chemistry among the cast members further exacerbated the problem, leading to interactions that felt forced and unnatural.

    The dialogue was another major issue. Instead of feeling organic and true to the characters, the lines were often clichéd and awkward. At times, it seemed as though the actors themselves were uncomfortable delivering their lines, which only served to highlight the weak writing. Attempts at humor fell flat, and dramatic moments came across as melodramatic rather than moving. The poor dialogue made it difficult to connect with the story on an emotional level.

    In the end, the movie was a waste of both time and money. The numerous flaws, from the incoherent plot and weak dialogue to the lackluster performances and uninspired visuals, combined to create a viewing experience that was more frustrating than enjoyable. It was clear that the film had potential, but that potential was squandered by poor execution at nearly every level. Audiences walked away feeling cheated, having invested their time and money into a film that failed to deliver on even the most basic expectations. It was a stark reminder that not every movie lives up to the hype, and that sometimes, despite the best intentions, a movie can fall flat.

    Bad Direction & Bad heroine character Choose

    Priyadarshi is always an excellent actor but director wasted his role mainly nabanatesh is not suitable for this character 100% and director go with only one line....that is only he follows only multiple disorder personalities.... Not interested to see this movie at single time..So disappointed from the director....

    Plus : Priyadarshi acting ...& Innocence

    Minus : Heroine selection big minus Naba natesh worst acting she is not suitable and wasted a character

    And story follows only online That is truely boring ..... And no fun detected So many people waiting for this movie for a only reason is priyadarshi funny character.

    Avoid This Film

    Honestly, this film is atrocious. It's beyond cringeworthy and unbearably slow. Despite its 2 hours and 40 minutes runtime, it feels like it drags on for over four hours. I was tempted to leave the theater halfway through. Nothing feels organic; every element is forced and artificial.

    The lead character's arc has potential and relatability as a concept, but its execution is severely lacking.

    Priya Darshi is a talented actor who has done commendable work recently.

    Unfortunately, Naba Natesh was a terrible choice for the female lead. Her role is too demanding and intense for her capabilities. Her acting is poor, she comes across as artificial, and even her dubbing is subpar.

    There are a few comedy actors in the film, but they don't deliver any laughs because the script fails to provide them with good material.

    While the cinematography is amateur, production design, and costumes are well done, the songs are terrible, and the background music is below average.

    This film is not recommended at all.

    Torturous

    This film is Cringe Max ! I have not watched a movie where I am wincing twice or three times as the time I was laughing !

    Now, if it was the stale comedy, lack of pacing and cliche alone were the problems, I would still have given a rating of 4-5 and movie could have been watchable - but then comes the more glaring problems : -

    1. Acting : The female lead does not possess even the 10% of acting chops to pull of this role ! She made it vulgar and crass and not convincing at all - She is fit as an eye candy (barely) but can't emote, very rigid body languages and does not posses any comedic timing

    2. Direction and Editing : Editing is grating and un-necessarly stretched and director is just not up to mark - many story treads are not well stitched together, no attempt made to make any reveals organic etc.

    3. Music and Sound Design : Distracting and unmemorable.

    Verdict - Skip, not worth your time.

    One time worth watching

    The storyline is excellent, and Priya Drashan's acting is commendable. However, the true standout is the heroine, who delivers a splendid performance portraying a character with split personalities. Her acting prowess is truly impressive, and it's hard to ask for more, especially considering her captivating glamour.

    Music is average and comedy is poor and no slab stick comedy or purposeful comedy.

    I am not sure about the director and other crew members but I would say this is emotional drama sentimental picture.

    While there may be some moments of lag and loose ends, the overall experience is definitely worth watching.
