This was sweet but fell flat for me. I think marketing it as a sort of Sweet Home Alabama retelling was a mistake because this had none of the chemistry and antics that made Sweet Home Alabama a classic rom-com. 

In the movie, the couple were messy and passionate and knew how to get under each other’s skin. Meena and Nikhil are sweet but ultimately came across as two wet blankets who can’t communicate with each other. 🤷🏼‍♀️
