  • Directed by Danish Renzu, it offers a fictionalised tribute to Kashmiri singer Raj Begum with Saba Azad in the central early-life role and Soni Razdan portraying the elder figure.
  • Reviewers praise Abhay Sopori’s compositions and Masrat Un Nissa’s vocals as the production’s emotional anchor.
