While I appreciate their friendship, I hope the film's content matches this emotional build-up. Many Bollywood films lately have been style over substance. Fingers crossed this one delivers!

Anupam Kher's directorial ventures have been hit or miss. Hope he does justice to Boman Irani's talent this time. The concept sounds interesting though - a musical genius character played by Irani could be magical if executed well.

Their friendship reminds me of the old Bollywood days when relationships mattered more than box office numbers. Both are national treasures! Also, Cannes premiere is a big deal - making India proud yet again 🇮🇳
