Well, I was challenged to write a good-only review about this movie, so here I am.
Lets start a counter from zero. Each time I find a good thing about this movie, I will increment that counter by one.
The first and the foremost important thing to mention here is PHOTOGRAPHY. It is outstanding. Hats off to the photographer. Starting from the village scenes in Punjab, the camera seemed to be focused at just right scenes in the entire film. The artistic use of the camera, the colors that appear in the scene, the explicit use of frames is exquisite. This is the most likable thing in the movie and hence counter becomes ONE.
Along with some awesome photography, there are a few more positives about the movie. One of them is explicit attack on Sardars. I hardly ever seen such an explicit attack. Some other movies use a comic character of a Sardar to show the same thing, but this movie, unlike other movies doesn't focus on a particular Sardar character to be dumb. Now counter becomes TWO.
Also, acting (or dialog delivery to be specific) by Manoj Pahwa is the best among all. So, lets increment counter by one and make it THREE.
Now, (probably) last but not least good thing in the movie, which is screenplay at the time of weddings in the movie. They are good. The combination of happiness experienced by a particular family due to the marriage while others are facing active terrorism is mind blowing. So, one more for the screenplay to make it FOUR.
Yes, FOUR is good enough.
So, my rating 4/10.
