Although I didn't dislike the film, I stopped bothering if the hero would ever propose her, thereby couldn't root for his character for the most part of the 2nd half, post-interval, except for the climax, which was good.

Kangana and RajKumar Rao just take us into their mind space and play with our perceptions of what is real and unreal. Brilliant writing and execution supported by Top Notch performances!

This film had some good ideas to bounce around but it seems like the director threw way too many of them hoping atleast few of them would stick to the wall. There are neither any character arcs nor character development throughout the entire film. Almost everything that the audience knows about the characters is because they literally say it out as to what they are, what they like and what they think. The supporting characters who could have been effectively used to create interesting drama or to reflect the nature of the protagonists, unfortunately have minimal dialogue and nothing great to offer on the table. The film is too raw at times, and over cooked at others, failing to find its space and strike a balance. The director, also wearing the editor's hat, was way too attached to what he shot putting it all in the film and thereby doing little justice to the editing part. Could have easily cut half an hour of the film. The production design is brilliant, the set pieces, the antiques and the lighting provide a surrealistic undertone to the entire film. The Cinematography is top notch.
