Story – Abhishek kapoor, Supratik sen, Tushar paranjpe,

Cinematography – Manoj Lobo.

Editor – Chandan Arora

Music – Sachin- Jigar

Screenplay – Tushar Paranjpe

 

Plus points

1) Ayushmann Khurrana has done a good job. He has really worked hard on his body and is excellent in his role. He has again proven that he is the most versatile actor picking diverse subjects. Vaani Kapoor looks glamorous and performed quite well.

2) Full marks to director (Abhishek kapoor) for picking up a very bold story. He executed quite well.

3) Story is quite unique. Screenplay is decent at places but is not upto the mark

 

Dialougues are funny and bold.

4) Music is good but doesn’t have a chart buster song.

5) Film is full of romance with lots of bedroom and kissing scenes.

 

Minus points

1) Editing could have been sharper. Film drags at places.

2) To educate today’s audience with sex education is not a novel idea .

3) The biggest minus point is the transgender subject which would appeal to elite audience of the multiplexers only. Single screen audience won’t be interested. The entire film is in Punjabi which is difficult to understand some times.

4) Film is not laugh riot. It’s entertain in parts.

5) Film lacks in emotional appeal. It doesn’t have the desired impact. Since the subject is bold, dialogues are not for the family audience. Breakup of Ayushmann Khurana with Vaani and then their reunion is not convincing.

6) Climax could have been written in a better way. It seems that the director was in a hurry to wind up the film.

 

Box office

Surprisingly, film has not got a good opening in the morning show. It may pick up in the evening shows and on weekends. Family audience and ladies not likely to patronise this film.
