Viveik Kalra is going to be a star and I look forward to whatever he does next. The humanity he injects into Javed is what makes this so much a must-see film. It’s funny, sadly still poignant and definitely worth the almost two-hour runtime. Yeah, that’s kinda long, but it flies by. Read more

While it’s all quite predictable, the way that people use music to find themselves is an honest foundation to build a film like this on. A perfectly alright film with a great soundtrack, it will resonate especially with Springsteen fans and the South Asian community . Read more

Inspiring? Not to me. Lamentably, this bland exercise, cooked with euphoric floridness, never goes deeper than the surface. Read more
