The film has Deepika playing the role of Kalpana, who is very much involved in the socio-political issues going on during the period. Her look with two plaits, a cotton sari and virtually no makeup, gives her a very realistic aura of those pre-independence times.Deepika, it seems has been rediscovered with this film, and so has Abhishek, both have been touted as really very good in the flick, and it remains to be seen, what impression the film makes in the minds of the audiences. Will this pair make a hit couple in KHJJS?Well, even if the film has a different genre, with perhaps very little romance, yet, if these two are liked on screen as a couple, who knows, they just might be paired again?
