So excited for this! Anurag Basu's films always have that magical touch. After Ludo and Barfi, I can't wait to see what he creates with Ali Fazal and Pankaj Tripathi. The combo of music and emotions sounds perfect! ❤️

Interesting to see Ali Fazal in such a different avatar after Mirzapur. But honestly, I hope this film doesn't get too artsy - Basu's movies sometimes lose the plot trying to be poetic. Fingers crossed for a good balance!

Between this and Rakt Brahmand, Ali Fazal is having such an interesting year. From crime thrillers to musical dramas - that's range! Indian cinema needs more versatile actors like him.

The cast is stellar - Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Neena Gupta...basically all my favorites in one film! Hope the story does justice to such talented actors. Basu better not disappoint!

"No guns, no revenge, no bloodshed" - after all the violent roles, it'll be refreshing to see Ali in a softer avatar. But knowing Basu, there will still be plenty of drama and complexity. Looking forward to this change of pace!
