Anumeha Fatehpuria and Shuaib Ahmad

• Amazing use of stage and props- Sahil
• Specifics performed very well, especially Shuaib, hard to maintain character throughout – Jerome Rahul M

• Good. – Subhanand
• Anumeha held the staged even though the focus was on other actor. Shuaib’s performance was awesome. Even if the physical deformities were absent, the acting alone was lovely. – Roshni Shetty

• 8/10- Joanne
• 7/10—Poorva
• While Shuaib did a really good job of portraying the disability his character obviously had, but I guess it reduced my ability of any to gauge his performance. Anumeha came across as the usual harassed lady. fantastic job-Vipul Nanda
• Anumeha was brilliant and so was Shuaib. The moments with food were brilliant. –Sagar
• Great balanced act. I was taken aback by Shuaib. Never seen it before. Awesome. – Anonymous

• Best- Subhanand
• Very powerful performance by both. Good dialogue delivery. Parul is someone to watch out for.- Roshni Shetty

• 6/10- Joanne
