Spiti Valley is heaven on earth! 🏔️ It's great to see Bollywood showcasing our own incredible locations instead of always shooting in Switzerland. More films should use Indian landscapes like this. The local people in the photo look so happy!

Honestly, I found Paap to be a bit slow and the storyline was confusing. The visuals were stunning, no doubt, but the execution could have been better. It was an ambitious first film though, and I appreciate Pooja for trying something so different.

Pooja Bhatt's filmography is truly impressive when you look back. From Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin to Zakhm, she has given some powerful performances. It's a shame she doesn't act in mainstream movies anymore. Her podcast with Mahesh Bhatt is quite interesting too!
