Tyagi’s story is rooted in Uttar Pradesh’s small town with quirky and loud characters that represent the myriad clichés of the typical ‘small-town thinking.’ Among many other things, the film also preaches how one must think big to become big. This attempt to infuse a full-fledged narrative around just one famous line is so forced that it shows in every frame of this crumbling film.

The strange trend also hit headlines across the nation, as everyone wondered, who exactly is Sonam Gupta and what led to this scathing accusation, perhaps, by a jilted lover.
