“The best part of the film is not what will happen -- the title and trailer make that clear -- but the how. Bringing a love story to a time when audiences have become accustomed to celebrating hatred and othering is itself an act of rebellion, even a political gesture. Imtiaz Ali, along with Naseeruddin Shah and Diljit Dosanjh, breaks your heart to mend it again. The surprise package in this Partition drama is Sharvari, who nails the brief as the coy yet resolute Afsana. Vedang Raina is vibrant as Keenu, a man who becomes an empty shell long before he reaches the deathbed.”
