Rediff.com gave a 2 out of 5, Shubra Gupta gave it a 1.5 out of 5’There is enough in Kriti Sanon-Kajol film for a juicy , substantive drama. But the unpacking turns more into an unravelling, mainly because the writing is shallow & the characters lack depth’.
Could have been a better film.
It reminds of ‘Seeta or Geeta’, ‘Chaalbaaz’ or the golden oldie ‘Do Kaaliyan’. The Movie ‘Parent Trap’ was so well written & enacted.
