Rani truly deserves all the accolades. 30 years in the industry and still delivering powerful roles. Her portrayal of Shivani Shivaji Roy is one of the strongest female characters in Indian cinema. More power to her!
It's lovely to see such genuine camaraderie between co-stars. In an industry often filled with rivalry, this is refreshing. "Feisty, strong & compassionate" – what a perfect description!
While I appreciate the sentiment, I wish the article gave us more about the movie itself. The franchise is great, but what's new in part 3? Hope the story is fresh and not just a repeat formula.
Bengal pride! 👏 So proud to see a Bengali actress being honoured with the Vande Mataram Puraskar and representing us on a national platform. She carries our culture with such grace. Eagerly waiting for the film.
Their bond is the definition of "old is gold". From the 90s to now, they've stood by each other. This kind of friendship in Bollywood is rare. Also, Rani is a powerhouse performer. All the best for M3!
