This movie deals with people with handicaps – one is bitter due to blindness and the other is depressed due to heart break. Society tends to glorify blindness as a bigger handicap than heartbreak. The movie poignantly shows that both are debilitating and need a lot of work to overcome. Kavita and Anirudh are fortunate in discovering each other. Their individual handicaps first help them in working together, then bonding together and then tears them apart. A well-wisher has to step in ultimately to bridge the gap.
There are some endearing scenes with the kids and the dialog is very engaging. The sequence where Anirudh describes his perception of Kavita's beauty deserves special mention for its poetry. Both Naseer and Shabana excel in their minimalist style.
