The film has a very classy look and the cinematography by Sachin Krishn is top notch. Production design by Gautam Sen is meticulous and he has done a wonderful job. The costume design by Ashima Belapurkar and Niharika Khan is excellent and does its bit in adding to the vintage look. Music by Shantanu Moitra has the feel of that era, but only two tracks 'Yeh Nigahen' and 'Khoye Khoye Chand Ki' are hummable. Swanand Kirkire's lyrics are beautiful as always.
All this does little to salvage the film. It is obvious that director Sudhir Mishra, has put a lot of hard work into this film and producer Prakash Jha also seems to have spared no effort in giving the film the mounting it deserves. Yet all this is to no avail. One thing Sudhir Mishra has wonderfully succeeded in doing is extracting wonderful performances from the actors. If only good performances and intentions could culminate in the making of a good film, this one would have been a classic.
Watch this if only for the meticulous and sincere effort of all those involved.
