Love the combination of Javed Akhtar's timeless words with Amit Trivedi's modern touch. The title itself sounds like a celebration. Can't wait to see how Manoj Bajpayee portrays a governor during such a critical period in India's history. 🇮🇳✨
Finally, a film that talks about the 1990s economic crisis! We've seen so many films on wars and politics, but this was a turning point for India. Javed Akhtar's lyrics are always full of hope - 'Jhagmag Jhagmag' feels like a beacon of light. Hope the song does justice to the theme.
As someone who studied India's economic reforms in college, this film sounds fascinating. 'The Silent Saviour' - what a powerful title. Manoj Bajpayee is the perfect actor to bring depth to such a role. The song snippet sounds promising, hope the film delivers on its premise.
Manoj Bajpayee and Javed Akhtar together? Don't need more reasons to watch this! The song name is so catchy - already humming 'Jhagmag Jhagmag Jhilmil Jhilmil'. Shashwat Singh's voice is soulful, and Amit Trivedi never disappoints. June 12 can't come soon enough! 🎵
It's great to see a film inspired by true events - the 1990s economic meltdown was a testing time for India. But I hope the writing team has done thorough research. Manoj Bajpayee is excellent,
