There are already fans calling it a throwback to Bollywood legends, complete with larger-than-life comedy in a feel-good romance. It is another production team up for David Dhawan and actor Varun Dhawan, who have previously supplied popular commercial entertainers. 

Varun returns in an overburdened avatar again, mixing comedy, romance and drama with his trademark screen persona. Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde inject glamour and emotional weight into the storyline, and as seen in the trailer with a romantic triangle riddled with confusion and comedic scenarios.
