This wonky film has two redeeming features: (1) The Rafi song, "Kya ajab saaz hai yeh shehnai", which is a complete essay on this soulful music instrument. Needless to say, neither this poignant song nor the film title itself, is suited to the film, which is more of a senseless romp across Kashmir's landscape. (2) The second redeeming feature is a starlet called Praveen Chaudary, who looks stunningly beautiful and sexy, completely overshadowing the lead female protagonist, Rajshree, who looks weary, if not old.

Nirupa's travails seem far-fetched.. she is almost a pauper, as if she neither got the widow's pension or death benefits of her husband, who was an air force officer martyred in a war. Not clear, which war though. Neither Biswajeet nor Johnny Walker look like students.. the inference is hilarious, as we watch these two pot bellied actors romp around with their respective love interests. A wholly avoidable film.
