A Decent, Not-Quite-Hit Run
Starring Naseeruddin Shah, Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, and Sharvari, the film earned positive reception that clearly helped sustain its momentum through the middle weeks. Trade voices suggest that with less competition at release, it may well have crossed into clean Hit territory. Instead, it settled as a commendable, if not blockbuster, performer — and attention now shifts to how it performs once it lands on OTT.
Director Imtiaz Ali is already moving on to his next project, reuniting with Sharvari and Vedang Raina.
