Performance-wise the movie is serviceable. Divita Juneja is an exciting discovery. She’s sincere on screen and carries the film’s emotional weight better than the script deserves. Prit Kamani and Ashutosh Rana provide welcome support, and there are moments where Sanjay Mishra and Gulshan Grover quietly lift the proceedings with small, lived-in touches. Audiences seem to notice and like the lead’s warmth even if they grumble about the rest.
Where Heer Express falters is structure and stakes. One could say that the bland screenplay, cliché beats and manufactured crises neither surprise nor deepen the characters. Scenes that should land emotionally feel preordained, and the film’s attempts at comedy don’t often land, which makes the tonal shifts feel clunky rather than charming. The pacing occasionally drags, and many plot turns feel like they belong to a movie that would have been more forgivable a decade ago.
