Vaibhavi V Risbood

in Pinkvilla

The Director and screenwriter, Sharan, ensures that the length of the film doesn’t become a hindrance to storytelling. He also avoids embellishing the film with over-dramatic and poetic dialogue. He keeps it as real as the characters of the film. Although, the writer should have paid more attention to the fact that in Lucknow, brothers are not called Dada, and neither are Balloons called Fugga in the region! Gunjan Saxena also could have done better in the background score and music department. Despite being a story that highlights grit, determination, and courage of Air Force officer Gunjan Saxena, the film came in the cross-fire of nepotism debate and meme-makers who believe all movies with star kids must be criticized. How these are itself the antithesis of the Sushant Singh Rajput movement is of course not a debate that is in the ambit of a film review. Maybe, for another time.
