💞 **A New Generation Love Story with Old School Vibes**


Dono is a slow-burning love story set against a dreamy destination wedding. Two strangers — each recovering from heartbreak — cross paths and slowly begin to connect. The film gently explores healing, companionship, and letting go.

🎭 **Performances**


- **Rajveer Deol** brings innocence to his debut role, though there’s scope for growth in more intense scenes.  

- **Paloma Dhillon** impresses with her natural presence and emotional depth — definitely a promising start!


Their chemistry is subtle, not over-the-top — which works well for the story’s calm tone.


---


🎶 **Music & Visuals**


The music is breezy and light — fitting for the wedding atmosphere. Visually, the film is stunning with pastel palettes, beachside mandaps, and festive colors that set the mood perfectly.


---


✅ **What Works:**

- Fresh pairing and relatable emotions  

- Feel-good family viewing  

- Beautiful wedding-style cinematography


❌ **What Doesn’t:**

- Predictable plot  

- Slow pacing in the second half  

- No standout “wow” moment

💬 **PingPatrika Verdict**


**Dono** is a soft, warm, and heartfelt debut for both leads. If you like slow, emotionally honest love stories without noise or drama, this one’s for you.


🎟️ *Watch it if:* You enjoy simple, soothing stories with a romantic vibe.  

🚫 *Skip it if:* You want edge-of-the-seat drama or big twists.
