Plots were rushed, special effects sucked, and each failed to fully or properly portray all of the moral dilemmas that the books offer.

It gave off a pulpy vibe that is largely missing in Indian cinema. But it was such a letdown. Where was the intensity? The emotion? The connection between the siblings that made us actually want to root for them? How did Alia Bhatt go from most bankable star to most annoying housewife?
