Its simplicity is works as both an advantage and a disadvantage. The easy-going narrative is a pleasant watch but too-good-to-be-true plot is distracting.
-

We are giving three stars to the film. One for its brilliant idea and premise, one for the beautiful performances by Harsh Mayar and Meena Mir, and one for its being the first film of the director, which, in our view, is a commendable achievement.
-
A straight, simple story with no great highs and lows and an easy resolution.
-
An appealing film, but the 'Kalam' angle seems a forced search for political significance.
