Critical reception
[edit]Rujuta Paradkar of Rediff found the story and music of the film to be weak and the structure of the film to be inspired by Rangeela. The critic gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5.[3] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama praised the acting performances of Antara Mali and Abhishek Bachchan and gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5 saying that, "NAACH lacks in that vital department that’s the lifeline of every film – script."[4] Aniket Joshi of Planet Bollywood was impressed with the acting performances of the lead actors specially Antara Mali about whom he said that, "Antara Mali probably gives the performance of her career". The critic gave the film a rating of 8 out of 10 saying that, "Though Naach is not outstanding, it is still one of the better films to come out this year. Naach is a must see for all the Bollywood fans who want to see a "real" love story."[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
