Dhanush’s performance was highly applauded by the audience as well as the critics and so is Sonam Kapoor's. Sonam is very happy because her father Anil Kapoor who has been her biggest critic praised her performance. She enacted a teenage girl and Sonam said that she took inspiration from Jaya Bachchan’s ‘Guddi’ to enact the role.
Directed by Anand Rai of ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ fame, the film also stars Abhay Deol in a pivotal role. Dhanush played a UP Brahmin boy and Sonam his ladylove.
