Huma Qureshi's journey of self discovery falters in making itself a fresh watch

Huma Qureshi-starrer Single Salma could easily pass off as a distant cousin to Kangana Ranaut's 2013 film Queen.

Both films revolve around a woman on the brink of marriage who heads abroad, rediscovers herself, and realises that self-worth and marital status need not be intertwined.

But the real question is does Single Salma manage to regurgitate that tried and tested formula successfully?

Directed by Nachiket Samant, the film follows Salma (Huma), a woman from Lucknow who refuses to give in to society's ticking clock. Once descended from nawabs, her family has fallen on ordinary times, and Salma shoulders nearly every household responsibility. To the extent that she he forgets that she is entitled to a life of her own.
