Technicalities:
Director Shoojit Sircar deserves a great applaud for his impeccable direction of an unusual film like this. While taking up such a film for direction itself was quite a challenge we must say that the filmmaker proves every inch that he is nothing less than a genius. Handling such a critical issue with an added dose of humor and keeping the fun at its own pace in the film. He has assured the audience that there is not a single dull moment in the film coz as an audience you are completely glued to your seats throughout the screening.

Woman with a golden hand Juhi Chaturvedi is worth special mention here as she is the ne who has presented a beautiful script and has penned peppy dialogues for the film. Her writing contribution is simply outstanding and is a laudable attempt from her side. Music of the film is peppy and apt for its theme.

Performances:
Everything could have backfired if not for a perfect actor Ayushmann Khurrana who in his debut film will take the nation by his storm. He who hails from theatre and television background proves that he is certainly more than what just meets the eye. The film will showcase his talent in the uppermost form, here’s a short advice for filmmakers, bag him as he is just up for grabs. John and Shoojit’s find, Ayushmann is certainly a horse of the long run. Yaami Gautam too has put up a decent performance for a debutants’ stature. The light eyed beauty certainly has the mettle to give our leading Bollywood actresses a run for their money. Amongst the supporting star it is Annu Kapoor who outshines others. Dolly Ahluwalia and Kamlesh Gill have given benchmark performances for their parts.

Analysis:
Superstar John Abraham deserves a standing ovation for taking such a daring step to take up such a critical issue for his maiden production. Not everyone has the courage to take up a taboo issue as a central theme for their debut production film. His cameo in the film is as enjoyable as the whole film. Watch out with family, friends or colleagues as this is one such flick that can be enjoyed by all. 

Plus Points: Ayushmann Khurrana, Dialogues, Mom-Dadi Banter

Minus Points: dragged second half

Final Word: Must watch for all.
