What mars the film is the obviousness and the repetition when its chief issue is addressed. Consternation around ‘Ek Muslim/Mohammedan ladki hotey huey naach-gaana’ comes up repeatedly, as does mention of ‘Devdasiyon ka naach’ and ‘but-parasti’.‘Tawaayaif banaane ka irada hai?,’ goes Maryam’s loving-but-stern ‘khala’. A sequence in which Hussain explains, in all seriousness, to his ‘beti’ about how a male classmate’s ‘chidaana’ could be an expression of interest, is problematic.
