7/10
Khaitan captures the realism

Warning: Spoilers
It's perhaps one of the most realistic films ever made in Bollywood. It is apart from the usual happy endings which many love stories fall for. It is not even Romeo and Juliet but a film with an excellent well maintained finish. The film as said has so much to explore as it beautifully portrays the effects of decisions made in haste and love. Instead of giving rise to a healthy life free from danger, it maintains that and gives the ending it deserved. The characters are based in Udaipur. Ishan Khattar manages to verse in the local language and give a local touch but Jaanvi fails at that aspect and her dialect feels a lot tampered. Her eyes can be of good significance but many a times they fail to produce the effects they should though the last scene was carefully done.

India's division of caste and ignorance is eminent in the drama. One cannot but have a regard for the screenplay. However there are times when direction seems loose. Also, the background score isn't really much to appreciate since it doesn't get you hung to the feelings of the characters. Suspenseful music might have added to the intensity but there is no music as such. Overall, if the few things would have been cared for it would have been a perfect watch but it still very well makes for a good watch.
