The major blame falls on the humdrum writing involved in developing the snooze-worthy romantic track between Shashi and Phillauri.It was expected to be bad as she is acting and producing this movie. That twist is also heavily borrowed from Robert Pattinson's tearjerker Remember Me. Nothing wrong with borrowing an idea, but I am not a fan of using a real- life tragedy that leaves an impact even after so many years, to drive your plot while not doing any kind of justice to the event. Even Kanan and Anu's track gets a slipshod conclusion after being ignored for nearly the entire second half in favour of Shashi's. Coming to think of it, there is nothing new that the movie offers you storywise when it comes to both the love stories. The climax is an absolute let down and never seems to end, coupled with some really lazy resolution and average special effects. Barring Duma Dumb, none of the songs make any kind of impact and their frequent inclusion just taxes your patience.
