While Chand Nawab fails as an onfield reporter his liveliness and big-heartedness won over the audience.

The funky hairstyles and that true outgoing Punjabi-munda feels was loved by the audience. While Taapsee ends up choosing marriage over love, in the end, how does Vicky's character evolve could be an interesting option for a spin-off.
