Our Rating: 9/10
The star rating on this doesn’t necessarily reflect the enjoyment level of the film, but more of the extreme qualities of the film. It’s very fresh and hard to predict. A rare picture for the YRF banner. This is a Bollywood romances’ horror film. Its extreme, and thrilling. Watch it if you need to see a different perspective on life from the early 90s. Shahrukh plays a unique role which is not to be missed.
