Thandel seems to have struggled with a weaker plot, despite having breathtaking sights and a wonderful soundtrack. This X user feels that, “Visually, it’s stunning—the cinematography is gorgeous! And the music’s good, no complaints there. But ultimately, it wasn’t enough to save the weaker plot. Unless you’re a huge fan of the leads and willing to overlook some flaws, I’d maybe skip this one or wait for it to stream.”
#HonestReview👍#Thandel… I really wanted to love it, especially with Chay and Sai Pallavi leading the way, but honestly, it just didn’t fully click for me.
😕 The first half had promise, but the story kinda lost its way after that. Some of the scenes in the Pakistani jail…
