In terms of art and craft, the film is commonly regarded as lacking cohesion and polish.

Character & Emotion

When evaluating character and emotion, performances generate mixed reactions. Kajol’s acting is praised by some for its vigor, yet others describe it as overacting that detracts from nuance. Supporting cast members receive comments ranging from competent to insipid, and the emotional depth of the mother‑son dynamic is viewed as superficial by many. This blend of strong individual moments and overall character flatness yields a moderate score.
