HNY was a proper masala entertainer! Jackie dada stole every scene he was in. That suave villain look with the white hair was his best in years. Farah's movies are always a visual treat. More filmmakers should cast veterans like him in such powerful roles.

Respect for Jackie Shroff for acknowledging Farah Khan's work. In an industry where credit isn't always given, this is refreshing. Also, great to see him guiding his daughter Krishna. True filmy *parampara* (tradition) right there.

While I love the mutual respect, I have to respectfully disagree that it was his "best look." For me, nothing beats his 90s era in movies like 'Ram Lakhan' or '1942: A Love Story'. He had a raw, magnetic charm that was unmatched. Still, he was fantastic in HNY!

"Indiawaale" is still my gym anthem! The whole movie is a mood. Jackie Shroff added so much gravity to the plot. It's nice to see these behind-the-scenes bonds. Farah Khan's YouTube channel is quite fun, showing this casual side of Bollywood.

Such a sweet moment. Jackie Shroff has always carried himself with so much grace, on and off screen. His advice to Krishna is gold – learn from the best when you get the chance. Wishing both Farah and Jackie more success. 🙏
