PERFORMANCES

• The acting department excels with the solid story at hand. 

• Huma Quereshi is back and how. She just required a role to show her calibre and here she is. Though she could have been better in the emotional scenes, none the less, a powerhouse performance. The scenes reminding of her maid and the scenes where, she is the maid , are powerful and shows her acting prowess . 

• Siddharth as Bhanu is very different from Siddharth as Omi from Chashme Baddoor . This shows his versatility as an actor. He is a powerful actor and has shown his calibre aptly. Rahul Khanna as Rizwan Chaudhary is apt in the role given to him. 

• The scenes of Arif Zakaria as Guru Ma are tough to watch and he is fantastic here because it was a tailor made role for him. 

• Akash Khurana is okay as Rao Sahib. Rahul Khanna was there for just few minutes.

•  Overall, the acting performances were fantastic.
