Okay, I'm genuinely curious about this one—Jackie Shroff as the hero and Prateik as the villain? That's an interesting combo. And the whole "grandfather-grandson with aliens" storyline sounds so refreshing from typical Bollywood fare. Hope Manish Saini delivers!
Honestly, I'm not sure if Prateik has the screen presence for a full-fledged supervillain role yet. He was good in *Chhichhore* and *Dhobi Ghat*, but a "supervillain" requires a certain charisma and menace. Let's wait and watch. Hope I'm proven wrong! 🤞
Prateik's journey is so inspiring—having lost his mother right after birth and then making it in an industry full of competition. This movie sounds like a unique blend of family emotions and alien sci-fi. I love that Bollywood is trying new genres! 🚀
The title reminds me of those old Hindi films like *Mr. India* and *Koi... Mil Gaya* where aliens and superheroes were mixed with family drama. I hope this one is more polished and not too childish. Also, Prateik's action prep looks intense—those sword moves! ⚔️
Yaar, but why do we need to make everything over-the-top? Sometimes subtle villains are more memorable. But I appreciate Prateik for taking risks—he's experimenting, which is more than most star kids do these days. Let's see on May 29
