@AdityaDharFilms, you hit it out of the park. It takes guts to make and release a film 4 hours long. The audience is glued to the seat till the last frame. 🫡

@RanveerOfficial, what a performance man… The sequence with the sister in the shed is a masterclass in acting. From that beginning to the heart-wrenching climax, you mesmerized us both as Hamza and Jaskirat.

@ActorMadhavan, garu, you carried the helplessness and frustration of a nation so well that we felt your sucess as ours.. Congratulations to the entire team for the resounding success… 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼"

His remarks highlight not just the film’s technical brilliance but also its emotional depth, an element he believes truly anchors the narrative.
