Nathan J. @NathanDirector Feb 2 I expected a goofy ghost comedy, but got a weird mix of genres that didn't quite stick the landing. The Director’s Eye: The flashback scenes are the highlight, utilizing a nice golden hue to capture "old Punjab." Diljit Dosanjh is charismatic as a singer finding higher purpose. As a man of faith, I respected the message of using God-given talents for something meaningful (the freedom struggle) rather than just entertainment. The twist ending connecting to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre was genuinely moving. The track "Dum Dum" is the soul of the film. The Cuts: The modern timeline is a total drag. The superstition-heavy "marrying a tree" plot was silly and hard to get behind. The humor fell flat, Suraj Sharma was annoying, and the pacing killed the momentum. Verdict: A sweet historical romance buried under a boring, unfunny modern comedy. Watch the songs, skip the movie. Favorite Line: "Use your talent to wake people up, not just to entertain them."

People have very poor taste in movies it seems. See more 07/25/2017 This could have been a good comedy, but took itself too seriously. A good story wasted See more 06/24/2017 Brilliant story & performances. Definitely worth much higher rating than here on rotten tomatoes.

They had an idea but didn't know how to execute it, from casting, to script , to songs to direction, everything which could possible go wrong went wrong. See more Read all reviews
