Moviegoers are saying
Imtiaz Ali delivers his most emotionally brutal love story yet, weaving partition trauma with romance in a way that leaves audiences sobbing in theater seats. While some find Diljit's performance mismatched to the film's tone, the combination of Naseeruddin Shah's powerhouse acting, A.R. Rahman's transcendent music, and stunning cinematography creates an experience that viewers describe as 'pure visual and emotional alchemy.'

    “Nafraton mein mohabbat ko naa bhoolna…” If love dies, hate becomes the only inheritance. Imtiaz couldn’t have made a more timely film for these hateful times. I watched half of it through tears. Not because of how painful it is, though it certainly is, but because of the…

    A very strong message about Commitment. And about a thing you love so dearly you cannot let it go! Movie felt emotional but some angles were redundant such as the homecoming to India one but the message in the end about war was very strong.
