Art & Craft

In terms of art and craft, the film receives mixed feedback. Reviewers note that the set design appears modern and vivid, yet the overall visual style feels derivative of the 1995 version. The music is described as catchy, but many feel the soundtrack relies heavily on rehashed songs. Direction is viewed as an uninspired attempt to replicate past formulas, resulting in a craft rating that leans toward the lower end of the scale.

Character & Emotion

When evaluating character and emotion, the consensus is largely unfavorable. Critics and several users label the lead performances as miscast, with Sara Ali Khan and Varun Dhawan described as lacking chemistry and comedic timing. Supporting actors are praised sporadically, yet overall the acting is seen as flat and unable to evoke genuine laughter or empathy. This consistent negative sentiment drives the character score well below average.

Sensory Experience

Sensory experience receives a more balanced assessment. Reviewers acknowledge that the soundtrack blends modern elements with nostalgic melodies, and the cinematography captures vibrant colors. However, the reliance on recreated songs draws criticism for lacking innovation.
