Ashlesha Thakur has been showing off her potential in every web series or show that she has been a part of. She doesn’t disappoint here either. She has drawn a fine line between being a girl who has been brought up in a big city girl and now living in a small town. She has brought to screen the openness and freedom of a big-city girl perfectly and also managed to bring the coyness and cuteness of a small-town girl. Managing that balance is tough and she gets it so right, that it doesn’t look fake onscreen.

Vishesh Bansal comes up with a very relatable performance. Any small-town boy would be able to connect to his every nuance, every antic, every guffaw, and every passe. He makes the innocence of first love come out so flawlessly that it looks natural and completely effortless. All the things that he tries initially to woo the girl, and later on to fight against Gutar Gu the system so as to be able to meet the love of his life, is so touching that you instantly relate to it and start seeing yourself in that character.

A special mention to Cindrella D’cruz who plays the mother of Vishal Bansal’s character. While she doesn’t have enough screen time, but she definitely steals the show in every scene that she is in. Her act as the mother is cumulatively representative of all small-town mothers. Every dialogue and every emotion that she displays onscreen makes you remind of your own mothers.
