Review:

After a unique concept of Hindi Medium, here comes yet another entertaining film where Irfan plays a poet with a truth-seeking bent of mind, grabs the audience’s attention by some cleverly-written lines. The most admirable thing about the Irfan’s character in this movie is that he justifies with his role so you can’t help but fall in love with him.

On the other hand, Jaya is vaguely stuck up. Life has dealt her a bad hand, but she’s still got her emotional state about herself and is gung-ho about glance out what the future holds. When she gets on a journey to places like Alwar, Rishikesh, and Gangtok with the unusual Yogi, who is the exact opposite of her, two distinct set of sentiments wrapping her.

Parvathy, South Indian actress, (who bears a strong similarity to Bollywood actress Madhu, the protagonist of Mani Ratnam’s Roja) makes her Bollywood debut here and she is fairly a natural. Also, as rock-hard at the start of this review, Irrfan is excellent.

Of the songs, 'Tu Chale Toh', rendered wonderfully by Papon leaves a long-lasting crash. And Eeshit Narain’s skillfully camerawork captures the lead pair’s touch and the natural beauty of the remarkable locations with proficiency.

If you like romantic movies, you should turn into the cinema nearby and treat in the journey.
