3. Dr. Aamir Khan and Sana Azar in their review published in the Dailytimes "Baar Baar Dekho: more than eye candy" suggest that the movie BBD draws on iconic literary and cinematic work and builds on it by breaking the narrative into non-linear and circular patterns to reflect human yearnings of perfectibility. They suggest that most critics have not understood fully the movie, which they rate very high in artistic production. http://dailytimes.com.pk/opinion/20-Sep-16/baar-baar-dekho-more-than-eye-candy
