This apart the movie perfectly matched our sensibilities of what we would define as good commercial cinema and we had absolutely no hesitation partnering in this project."

    Set in the beautiful locales of Lucknow, the Sudhir Mishra film is a romantic drama with light hearted moments that track the enmity of two bitter rivals and their past romance. Alternating between the present and the past, the story deals with their actions when the love of their life returns to their world.
