In his straight-forward approach, Anshuman Pratyush wrapped the screenplay with no frills or illusions. The entire film revolves around this tone, much like the middle-aged Shantilal Mukherjee and Manashi Sinha, who flawlessly grasped the essence of the screenplay, creating an atmosphere of laughter in their own unique way, just as Ankush Hazra did. Though there may have been a slight hint of discomfort in his performance, it never overshadowed his talent. Suzan's character is portrayed by the foreign actress, Alexandra Taylor. Despite not conforming to conventional beauty standards, she effortlessly immerses herself in the love and song scenes, displaying her fluency in both. Unfortunately, there weren't many opportunities for her to truly showcase her acting skills within the confines of the screenplay. However, this film has a profound lesson to offer its audience - the language of the heart transcends all barriers, making verbal communication irrelevant when hearts beat in unison.
