The film's touching storyline, inspired by the Korean classic A Moment to Remember, revolves around love and memory loss, and has struck a chord with audiences across India. Mohit Suri, known for his expertise in romantic dramas (Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain), has once again delivered a winner. The music has also contributed heavily to the film’s buzz. This one is also to emerge as the biggest blockbuster of Suri's career.
