Here Sajid intervenes and bring the leftmenu together on the stage to perform in a play, hoping to bring them together in real life too. Will he succeed or not.........
The acting by the three main charcters was good. Though the story was the same old cliched, yet the flashbacks and the play-counter-play situations and brilliant direction and camera work maintain the momentum of the play. The play never drags and keeps the viewer hooked.
