It is primarily a love story woven around situations like a father dying on the engagement day of his young daughter Chandni (Eesha Kopikkhar) leaving two children siblings (Ishita Panchal/Amrita Prakash and Vishal Malhota/Amey Pandyaa) on her. Now she has to look after them till they grow up and settle in life. At stake is her own life and marriage to Prem (Sonu Sood). It’s a tale of self respect, tolerance, sacrifice, love, hate, realisation, conflict of the old and new age blended with some beautiful songs.

But the director Kaushik Ghatak seems to forget that 12 years do bring some trace of the age and maturity on even hardcore gym goer but here his Prem and Chandni defy the natural law. Full of family value messages and a catchphrase “Its not about 12 years of wait but 12 years of romance”, the film leaves you moist eyed in many emotional frames.

Watch it if you aren’t tired of Rajshri’s utopian ideas on life, and watch it to remind yourself the values you may have forgotten on your way to progress and yes! keep a handkerchief ready!
