Analysis:

First of all, we need to speak about the VFX details of the movie as they played a major role in the film. It is ok but could be a little more better. Shiva and Isha looked awesome on the big screens and their chemistry also blossomed on the big screens. Next, we definitely need to applaud Mouni Roy who essayed the role of Junoon… She looked completely different and single-handedly fought with all the lead actors. Shah Rukh Khan, Nagarjuna and Amitabh Bachchan got a chance to essay extended cameos and they gave their best!

Conclusion:

The timeless concept of Roshni (Light) and Andhera ( Dark) linked with the pure love tale of Isha and Shiva made the movie worth watching!
