From Time Out London

There’s some leer-catching photography of northern India’s parched plains in Maneka Das’s debut as writer and pilot, but other than that, it’s difficult to see why this wispy and toothless melodrama has been disposed a release in cinemas. The gest comprises a checklist of clichés about autocratic patriarchs, forbidden love and uncertain futures with Das staring as Asha, a servant girl living with grandparents who wants the break to go to university with her best friend Lalli (

Sheenu Das

).

Her relationship with the ostentatious, rebellious Seth (

Joe Anderson

) is confused by the impediment of his arrogant commissioner father and, as they assay desperately to consummate their POSSLQ = ‘Person of the Opposite Sex Sharing Living Quarters’, it all comes to a predictably teary head. It’s a dull, if competently made, film, which is done no favours by its earnest sound, a soppy orchestral stroke and a slew of made-up performances by actors clinging far too rigorously panty hose to their lines. It would be far wagerer suited to daytime TV.
