PERSONAL VIEW:

The plot of the movie is good. ‘Chali Chali’ and the ‘holi’ song are good. Other songs are average. All the actors and actresses have done a good job. The movie is worth watching once. It is a movie with a social message. The movie makes one cry as well as laugh. It is a complete source of entertainment. I recommend this movie to all.
