Respectfully, while the intent is good, I hope the portrayal of autism is accurate and doesn't rely on stereotypes. Our film industry sometimes gets these sensitive topics wrong for dramatic effect. Fingers crossed they handled it well.

The father being an Army officer and the daughter wanting to fulfill his dream at Siachen... that's a very emotional and uniquely Indian story angle. Kudos to the team for attempting something different.

Anupam Kher and Mahesh Bhatt have such an old and respected association in Bollywood. Saaransh was a classic. Good to see veterans supporting meaningful cinema in the OTT era. Will definitely give it a watch this weekend.
