As the gutsy Maanvi, a Zumba instructor with a hidden past, she bites into the taboo role with almost carnal craving and delivers a career-defining performance.

How much more, well, you have to judge it for yourself.Ĭhandigarh Kare Aashiqui starts off as a typical run-of-the-mill love story. The makers of this film call it a ‘mind bending love story’. Cast: Ayushmann Khurrana, Vaani Kapoor, Kanwaljit Singh
