The concept and script and of course the film work overall makes this movie stand out. It is much better by far, as compared to most of the Bollywood movies.

The concept and script and of course the film work overall makes this movie stand out. It is much better by far, as compared to most of the Bollywood movies. There were some plot holes, but it depends upon how the viewer perceives it. I perceived those to be clues for the viewers. Dots to be joined in order to make sense out of the plot in the end!
