While I appreciate Aamir's efforts, I wish Bollywood would stop making sequels to classic films. The original was perfect - why risk diluting its legacy? Hope this lives up to expectations though.

Saw the film yesterday - what a beautiful message about inclusion! The scene where the team finally gets their jerseys had the entire theatre clapping. Aamir sir's performance is brilliant as always.

Bollywood needs more films like this instead of mindless masala movies. Aamir Khan proves again why he's called Mr. Perfectionist. The trailer itself made me emotional - can't imagine how moving the full film must be!
