The Movie has a bit of humour but only for the young to enjoy. The dialogues were not extraordinary but were excellently executed by all the cast. All the actors blended into their roles very well. The performance of Manzar Sehbai the father was remarkable and definitely stood out. The movie took off slow but overall it was detailed and expressive to the extent of what was needed.
