It's great that Saba Pataudi and others are praising it, but honestly, the real win is that a mainstream Bollywood film is tackling such a relevant social issue. Hope this encourages more content-driven cinema.

Yami has always been a good actress, but this role was something else. Her courtroom scenes gave me goosebumps. Deserves all the acclaim she's getting. Time for her to get a National Award?

As someone who follows Indian cinema from abroad, it's fantastic to see films like this getting a global platform on Netflix. The performances look incredible from the clips. Adding to my watchlist!

Respectfully, while the praise is well-deserved, I hope this doesn't just become another round of Bollywood insiders patting each other on the back. The true test is what the common audience thinks. Thankfully, the word-of-mouth is solid.
