A period drama set in 1947 with this star cast is a dream project. Hoping it handles the partition theme with the sensitivity and depth it deserves. Aamir Khan's production is usually a mark of quality.

Sunny Deol is on a roll after Border 2! Back in another film with a historical setting. Hope Lahore 1947 is more than just jingoism and shows the human cost of partition. That's a story we all need to remember.

The team behind this is incredible - Santoshi, Aamir, AR Rahman. But 2026 is so far away! The wait is going to be tough. At least we know they are taking their time to make it perfect.

Respectfully, I hope the focus is on storytelling and not just star power. Sometimes these mega projects get lost in trying to please everyone. The subject of 1947 is heavy; it needs a nuanced hand.

AR Rahman's music for a period film like this? Yes, please! Javed Akhtar's lyrics will add so much depth. The music album alone will be worth the wait. 🇮🇳
