Storyline
The story revolves around two people with completely different mindsets. Ray (Kartik Aaryan) is a carefree, live-in-the-moment young man, while Rumi (Ananya Panday) is a soft-spoken, thoughtful young author. They meet at a bookstore, and in their very first conversation, Rumi is put off by Ray’s attitude. Soon, by a twist of fate, they find themselves on a yacht trip together, where their friendship gradually blossoms into love. What happens next is something you’ll have to watch the film to find out. The story beautifully portrays the balance between family, contrasting perspectives, and a very progressive love.

Ananya Panday is strong in her role as Rumi, striking a natural balance between humour and emotion. Once again, she proves that she is steadily growing as an actor, taking on different genres and bringing a refreshing sincerity to each role. As Rumi, she adds warmth and depth, making the character relatable. Kartik Aaryan as Ray, meanwhile, once again underlines his comfort in the rom-com space, with his comic timing landing effortlessly. Neena Gupta (Ray’s mother) and Jackie Shroff (Rumi’s father) play small yet heartwarming parts, adding emotional weight, while the supporting cast lends depth to the narrative at key moments.

Sameer Vidwans has presented a beautiful blend of romance, humor, and lighthearted emotions. The story never feels heavy, and the director has made it family-friendly for the festive season. The settings, sequences, and pacing work in favor of the rom-com genre — sometimes slow, sometimes funny, with just the right balance.

Dialogues
The dialogues have an unique, chocolate-like sweetness. The witty banter, lighthearted humor, and emotionally touching lines are easily memorable. Kartik's jokes and his delivery feel very natural, keeping the audience engaged. Some parts playfully explore modern-vs-traditional perspectives, adding a lighthearted touch to the story.

Music
The music direction brings that signature Dharma Productions flair, the rhythm and beat of the heart are palpable in almost every song. Tracks like ‘Saat Samundar Paar’ have both an international vibe and a nostalgic feel. Each song has its own distinct flavor, beautifully enhancing the film's romance and mood. The musical atmosphere is perfect for listening to during the festive season.
