Adarsh was equally effusive in his praise for Deepika Padukone, describing her performance as "stellar." He commended her for holding her own against the seasoned actor and for delivering a "power-packed performance" that was both "convincing and captivating."
Music and Technical Aspects
Adarsh also had high praise for the film's music, composed by Vishal-Shekhar. He wrote, "The music is the film's biggest strength," appreciating how each song was "integrated beautifully into the narrative." He also praised the film's cinematography and editing, stating that they were "top-notch" and contributed significantly to the film's overall appeal.
