We were in the mood for a light movie and tend to like movies with Indian culture in them, but there wasn't enough in this movie to hold onto. Even for a predictable, romantic movie, it dragged. There were some good moments, just not enough of them. The acting was mixed; the lead male and the father of the female pulled the movie along. I didn't expect much. It could have been better.

The lead female wasn't a bad actor, but she seemed to have been miscast. There was absolutely no chemistry between the lead characters. As I said, I tried hard to like this movie, and I had low expectations. I kept expecting it to get better, so made it to the end.

I am admittedly a David Tenant fan, but wasn't sure how this would go after the first episode. Delighted to say that it keeps getting better. Downright fun! Glad to see a second season will be coming.

Thoroughly enjoyable Christmas movie by Netflix. The acting is well done with Maggie Smith and Jim Broadbent; the young boy maintains a sense of belief and wonder throughout. It is filled with fantasy and magic, goodness and charm. There is some subject matter that may not be suitable for the youngest of children, but the storytelling is magnificent and uplifting! A wonderful tale showing that goodness and kindness ultimately win.
