Overview

• The Fawad Khan–Vaani Kapoor romantic drama premiered internationally on September 12 with India excluded.
• Reviews from BBC Asian Network, Khaleej Times, Gulf News and USA Pillar fault the film for an incoherent story, bloated pacing and derivative nostalgia.
• A minority of notices highlight the leads’ chemistry, with Bollywood Hungama calling it a breezy family entertainer.
• India’s Press Information Bureau posted a fact-check rejecting reports of a September 26 opening in cinemas, stating no clearance exists.
• The planned India rollout was halted after the April Pahalgam terror attack, which led to restrictions on Pakistani artists and left Khan’s Bollywood return confined to overseas markets.
