It's refreshing to see actors talk about the craft and not just the glamour. Avinash is underrated. That line about ego and miscommunication in relationships hit home. More films like this, please.

Honestly, I found the pacing of The Mehta Boys a bit slow in the middle. But the emotional payoff was worth it. Avinash's vulnerability was his strength. And another Vishal Bhardwaj-Shahid Kapoor film? That's always an event!

"Arre, dhai actor nahi hai tere jaise" – what a fantastic thing for a senior to say to a junior! This is the kind of supportive environment that creates great art. More power to the whole team. Looking forward to the gangster drama next!
