Diljit Dosanjh in an Imtiaz Ali film is such an interesting pairing after Chamkila. He brings such genuine emotion. And with Naseeruddin Shah in the cast? The acting talent is stacked. Hope the story lives up to it.

"A story of a boy and a girl, but also a country." That line from Imtiaz has me intrigued. He's best when he mixes personal journeys with larger themes. Fingers crossed it's a return to form. The 2026 release feels so far away!

Excited to see Vedang Raina and Sharvari get a big break with a director like Imtiaz. Fresh faces with established legends is always a good mix. Hope it's a proper theatrical experience worth going to the cinema for.

With all due respect, Imtiaz Ali's recent work hasn't quite hit the mark for me. The concepts sound deep but sometimes the execution feels self-indulgent. I hope this film has a clearer narrative than his last few. The team is fantastic, so I'm hopeful but cautious.

The quote from Momin Khan Momin that he shared... "Tum mere paas hote ho goya". That sets such a beautiful, melancholic tone. This already feels like it will be about soulmates and separation. My heart is ready (and also not ready) for this. ❤️
