Meghna Gulzar and crime dramas? That's a deadly combo after Talvar and Raazi! Kareena looks promising in that police uniform. Just hope Prithviraj gets enough screen time too - he's a powerhouse. Eagerly waiting! 🔥

Honestly, I'm tired of Bollywood's crime-justice themes. But having said that, Kareena and Meghna Gulzar are a solid team. The behind-the-scenes stuff shows how much effort they're putting into portraying Mumbai's raw side. Let's hope it's not just another formula film.

As someone who's followed Indian cinema from abroad, this looks refreshing. A female-led crime drama directed by someone as meticulous as Meghna? That's rare even globally. And the Mumbai locations feel authentic. Subscribed. 😎

Bebo in a serious role after a long time! The BTS video shows she's really committed - travelling from Khalapur to Virar is no joke. Mumbai's traffic and long hours? That's dedication. Hope the story matches the hype. 🤞

This looks promising! I love how Indian cinema is exploring more grounded, location-driven narratives. Kareena's energy in the BTS is infectious. Prithviraj is a great addition too. Marking my calendar for September 18! 🌟
