The story is about two real sisters Badki (Radhika Madan) and Chhutki (Sanya Malhotra) who always fights with each other without having any genuine reason. They live in a small town in Rajasthan. Their father (Vijay Raj) who is a single parent, always try to make a peace between them. Their neighbour Dipper (Sunil Grover) is always on the lookout for an opportunity to make the sisters go to war. Both sisters ranaway from their marriage one by one respectively but unknowingly both go in a same family.
Their husbands are real brothers. In such situation even after marriage their fight continues. Dipper who plays vital role between both sisters finally creates a situation where both comes to a conclusion that their love lies in their fight only and there is no solution other than fighting each other.
Radhika Madan and Sanya Malhotra have equal exposure in the film. Both have justified their character. Sunil Grover’s comic timing is wonderful. His character in the film is like Narad Muni. Vijay Raj in the role of a father is simply mind-blowing. Although he has a less scenes in the film but he has left an unforgettable impression in the mind of audience.
Somewhere it seems that climax of the movie could have been better. Question remains with the audience till end that ‘why these sisters fight with each-other so badly without having any convincing reason(s)?’
Music is the real strength of the movie. Melodious voice of Rekha Bhardwaj and Sunidhi Chauhan actually impresses the audience. ‘Balma’ song is one of the finest song in the films and it impressed the audience. As usual, direction of Vishal Bhardwaj is nice but somewhere storyline has disappointed the audience.
