This series offers the detailed story of how it all started and offers a glimpse into Nadia’s childhood. Varun’s performace in the series is highly appreciated. But Samantha dominated Varun Dhawan with her unique style and Sam proves, she is a super star for a reason. Her action seqences with emotional touch makes it worth watching. The couple scenes with their dauther made an emotional connection. Other crew also performed well especially KK Menon. Child actress Kashvi Majumdar is a special attraction in the role of Nadia.
