The dialogues were good and sensible, the script was matured and the screenplay was tight. Background score was good and two songs were effective. Cinematography was top notch. Editing was required at few places but still it was neat. Costumes were natural and stylish while the art department was impressive. It was Sridevi’s show all the way and she has delivered to excellence. Adil Hussain was effective, Priya Anand made her presence felt, Mehdi Nebbou was very good, Sivansh Kotia was lovable. Amitabh in his cameo scores the brownie points.
