Skip it. The cross-border romance premise has promise, but without critical validation, strong word-of-mouth, or recognizable talent attached, this feels like a forgettable Bollywood melodrama that probably swings for earnestness and lands on cheese.

Plot

Set in the early 1980s along the India-Pakistan border in Punjab, the story follows Nimma, a young Sikh student and poet from Indian Punjab, who falls deeply in love with Nasima, a Muslim girl from Pakistani Punjab.
