A Hit Or A Miss?

Looks like netizens are loving the performance of the cast, while Khurrana seems to be stealing the show again, Ananya is nowhere left behind with praises for her role as Pari in the film. While other strong comedians in the cast outshine, social media users couldn't stop praising Paresh Rawal, calling him astounding. As Seema Pahwa successfully manages to make her presence felt, Manoj Joshi and Annu Kapoor were especially appreciated for balancing line with their one-liners. Rajpal Yadav and Vijay Raaz have also been applauded as social media users described their performance to be taking the audience "by storm" as they are in their "supreme form" and have their separate viewership.
