Directed by R.S. Prasanna, the film balances humor, drama, and emotion with surprising ease.

[{"selector":"#anim-550e1ebb-bb24-4742-8994-a37175091c7e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.56251%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-62b521a9-7031-4cdb-a7ab-d73f2e0b72d7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d2a8731b-f5ee-4727-ade9-2b61192253f8","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b1e43fff-aed0-4247-9133-1d1cd5d5ab52 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-23.65734583174075%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The comedy angle is unexpectedly delightful, adding a fresh twist to an otherwise sensitive storyline.

[{"selector":"#anim-4cebb820-d518-43b3-875f-d9ba92ba9d1d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.25001%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-49f528c3-84e2-42dd-bb5b-06303c36aafb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-383009b6-86fd-4a19-8a49-97f271e765d2","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8d08fdc3-a88e-460a-811c-5456d914a977 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The script feels deeply rooted in Indian culture, with emotional beats that resonate on a personal level.

[{"selector":"#anim-b09679c7-bbe7-4f6e-994f-6ad784d9cb4b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.875%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-01434686-bf58-46a0-b50c-b23c51407cd8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-17f482d3-1143-4f3e-ab65-c00d1995317c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c2da89c4-854e-41be-8379-589516fa024e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(14.667508483855269%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The first half is a slow burner, but the film truly takes off just before the interval.

[{"selector":"#anim-43a915cd-d946-4652-93b0-f696f01477f1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.875%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f50fabe7-9dd8-4071-ba1a-678a3be3d343","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-20f21ec0-d77a-415f-ab4e-c821689f816d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2f2b6cb7-8871-4988-aef3-1058351e9dd8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(6.845238148642341%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The second half brings an emotional rollercoaster, especially during the gripping 40-minute climax.

[{"selector":"#anim-94f74a3e-4737-40db-9dca-39a4861ab5b7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.875%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2dad77de-7d63-40ce-8d91-799be0aec897","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9eaf2b17-6e13-494a-9db9-bbcdea6cc8e7","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3c65027e-bcfb-4e78-8b7e-47749497ba30 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The music, while serviceable, doesn’t quite reach the emotional highs the film aims for.

[{"selector":"#anim-be33e508-38a2-43fa-b755-e50a47b1a067","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.875%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-adf771f4-62dc-496c-9331-bbde5a86b7ba","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f4453d12-77bf-46c7-9098-d78b71dcc014","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e6d68d44-dc40-45be-ba6f-29345b557a22 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Genelia Deshmukh is effortlessly convincing and brings warmth to every frame she’s in.

[{"selector":"#anim-d45844ef-c571-4ad8-b4de-2ceaf465c9d6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.56251%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aea83ebd-6cdb-47e8-b164-f14d94af5c46","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fc4bff83-42b6-4ac4-840d-02a800579162","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1d6f016b-f464-452b-9acd-55a13015e38d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The child actors are beautifully cast, each delivering a moment that tugs at your heartstrings.

[{"selector":"#anim-6fe09528-09e8-4b26-bd1b-d121f4a630e2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.56251%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ae8de6a6-50bd-4af5-945d-ca0f7e950bc8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ab547a14-b917-4c4c-8e4a-936547a638ba","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0244af60-e9cf-4ee4-b432-c3815e12fb0e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Recommended for fans of emotional storytelling, light-hearted laughs, and good old cinematic magic.
