Lamhaa means a moment but in direct contradiction to the name, the movie has taken desperately long time and it is only because of the relentless efforts of the Rahul Dholakia (of Parzania fame) that has finally culminated in the completion of the movie.

The film is being presented by G S entertainment and stars Sanjay Dutt, Bipasha Basu, Kunaal Kapoor and Shernaz Patel. Lamhaa has been infested by many roadblocks, the prominent ones being the objection by a frontline leader of Jammu and Kashmir Asiya, who has been pretty vocal that Bipasha’s character is a take on her life. The manual problems were somehow solved by the director and the shooting set to resume only for the landslides to start. The movie has been extensively shot in J & K and Shimla and Sanjay was quite nostalgic as he did his early schooling in Shimla only. The security had been pretty beefed up and the stars took turns in coming here and completing their legs of the shooting. If anything, it speaks great potential about the directorial qualities of Rahul.

 The film takes a closer look at the terrorism and the surly effects it has on general life. The dark side of the beautiful valleys has been portrayed pretty beautifully as reported by the in house team. All in all, time has captured the moment and the movie should be an experience. It is produced by Bunty Walia. Here is praying for the truth to emerge in the valleys through the film and that the movie releases in time.
