Watched it on Prime last year. Honestly, a bit slow in the middle, but the emotional payoff was worth it. Great to see Indian cinema exploring such nuanced relationships. Congrats on the anniversary!

The fact that it won awards globally before releasing here says a lot about its quality. We need more heartfelt stories like this instead of just masala entertainers. Full paisa vasool!
