Debutante Sanjana Sanghi oozes confidence and is a perfect foil to Sushant’s exuberant character. The way she has handled the difficult character showcases her acting skills. She is cute, has superb screen presence, and will go far in the long run for sure.

The supporting cast, Swastika Mukherjee, and Saswata Chatterjee as Kizie’s parents are superb.  Saif Ali Khan in a cameo leaves his mark. The soundtrack composed by A.R. Rahman has some fantastic, foot-tapping numbers. The cinematography by Satyajit Pande is beautiful especially the Paris moments.
