This is the kind of content we need! A patriotic thriller with top-notch performances. So proud to see an Indian film about our intelligence operations doing so well. The ensemble cast is brilliant. Jai Hind!
While the success is great, I hope this doesn't just become about the box office numbers. The story and craft matter more. That said, Aditya Dhar has delivered again after Uri. The direction is tight.
Visiting from the US and watched it here. The hype is real! The action sequences and the tension in the undercover plot had me on the edge of my seat. Ranveer is a global star in the making.
766 crore and counting! This is massive for our industry. It shows that when we make quality films with a solid story, the audience will come in droves. A much-needed boost post-pandemic. Bas ab Part 2 ki der hai!
The supporting cast deserves equal praise. Akshaye Khanna and R. Madhavan were superb. Their scenes added so much depth. It's not just a one-hero film, it's a well-rounded team effort on screen.
