This happens when a person from dance field makes a movie, she/he would have cool ideas about the songs but no solid glue to compile those songs / song situation into one good story. Last ~15 minutes are truly beautiful and heartwarming, but rest of the movie feels dull. It lacks emotional appeal. For such movies to work, it requires a little bit of melodrama. But this movie runs pretty flat. Performances from main leads of three generations are very good, but story and director is not energetic, appealing and it lacks novelty. Inayat Verma's character is well developed, but despite having potential, Abhishek didn't get enought chance to show his talent in father's role. Most of his screen time is consumed in playing the cliches of lonely gloomy widower. Even a one scene would do the job, in which he cries alone for his daughter's pain and talks with his dead wife. This scene too is a cliche, but it still will be more emotional than a gloomy flat face. In somewhat similar space, "the sky is pink" was much more impactful and moving story.

This is one of the best movies of 2024. The visual style is captivating. Writing is very minimalist. Everything is so accurate. Theme is very accessible to all kind of viewers. Who doesn't want to remain young forever?! Who doesn't like a better version of themselves? But there is a catch. Will they truly love that version?

As a matter of facts, there is nothing new in the concept or plot of the movie, but the themes of letting someone go, moving on in the life and cherishing the memories of loved one, are beautifully woven in this cute, emotionally moving story. The story uses so many cliché, although it feels fresh. The elements of Great Gatsby are superbly layered into it. The last lines from protagonist's assignment are gold. The last scene too is simply beautiful. Movie's tittle could be something better, something poetic. 'Girl Haunts Boy' doens't do justice. It should be something like, "100 years stand between us too." (From the song protagonist plays at the end.)
