Fully agree with Ghai sir. The chapter-wise storytelling was brilliant. It felt like reading a great novel. The casting of veterans like Akshaye Khanna and Sanjay Dutt was a masterstroke. This is the kind of cinema we need more of.

While the film was technically superb and the performances were top-notch, I felt the runtime was a bit too long. Some chapters could have been tighter. Still, a landmark film for sure. Respectful criticism from a fan.

It's amazing to see such supportive mentorship in Bollywood. The film's success proves that Indian audiences are ready for complex, well-made stories. The depiction of real events added so much gravity. Can't wait for part two!

This praise from the 'Showman' himself is the biggest award. It shows the film worked on every level - story, craft, and box office. Hope this encourages more filmmakers to take such bold, detailed approaches. Bas, bahut khush hua!
