We won’t hear from her, but her searching eyes hold the presence of unshed tears and the weight of emotion. Sandhu’s debut is soft and gentle and her mastery lies only in micro-expressions. Dhawan is brilliant; away from the machoisms we normally know him for. It shows the evolution of a man, growing from immaturity to developing a tender sense of empathy. Another standout is Gitanjali Rao as Shiuli’s mother. Every scene she’s in is a punch to the heart.
