One does wonder why was the music of the movie not released in advance. Another good thing about the movie is that all the characters are given their due importance according to the story - only problem, there is no story. Only the camera work stands out with colours of rustic beauty of Punjab, scenic and from everyday life, lighting up the screen. The movie could have easily been half its length, and all the better for it. The second half tries to convince that there are real hurdles facing them but rather than sympathizing with the couple, you end up pitying those cooped up with you in the hall. The first half of the movie slowly builds up, showcasing idiosyncrasies of characters and farcicalities of life, but always keep the viewer relaxed and there is only a slight anticipation at the time of interval that something is likely to go bad for Jaspal and Harman. Going against the trend and evoking bucolic nostalgia was a bold move, almost as bold as not releasing the music of the film in advance, even though the leading couple is made up of two celebrated singers with large fan followings. The team of ‘Afsar’ deserves praise for trying to serve a simple movie in multiplexes embedded deep into jazzy malls.
