What critics said
Critics broadly found the unusual relationship premise and polished presentation undermined by a banal, heavily expository script and weak lead performances.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Jai and Diya's relationship is tested through changing perceptions of marriage, ambition, and shared life.

The production combines London filming, contemporary styling, romantic staging, and prominent songs such as 'Kala Chashma' and 'Sau Aasmaan'.
The central couple must negotiate the tension between Jai's aspirations and the demands of sustaining a marriage.
