It's nice to see Alia supporting her friend, but honestly, the film's success belongs to the entire team. Sunny Deol was the soul of the movie, and the story of our armed forces' unity is what truly resonates.

People were trolling him for smiling in a song? Seriously? Glad he proved them all wrong. Performance was top-notch. Diljit Dosanjh was a surprise package too!

The collection figures are insane! 129 crores in a weekend? It shows how much the audience craves well-made films about our history and heroes. More power to the team.

Respectfully, while the performances were good, I felt the film could have delved deeper into the strategic aspects of the 1971 war. It felt a bit more like an action spectacle at times. Still, a decent watch.
