Should you spend 2h 48m on it?
2h 48m of Hindi drama, leaning music. At this length it's the whole evening's plan, not something to slot in after dinner.
Don't watch this if…
- you want a safe bet — that rating rests on only 71 votes
- you want something you can finish quickly — it runs 2h 48m
- Why
- 7.2/10 from 71 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- you want something you can finish before a reasonable bedtime
- Best for
- A night with nothing after it
