Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sanya Malhotra have an understated chemistry on-screen in Ritesh Batra's Photograph, without any unnecessary sentimentality that could have made this film feel a bit kitschy. Batra's script has so much heart it's very hard not to walk out of this film without some sense of self-reflection and wonderment.

The interpreter for Nawazuddin was quite good although Malhotra also helped Nawazuddin with some translation.

The two actors appear to get along quite well. Photograph made it's European premiere on February 13, 2019 at Friedrichstadt Palast.
