Another Bollywood event with the same old faces. Why do we keep celebrating these star kids and industry insiders? There are so many talented independent filmmakers who deserve this kind of attention too.

As someone working with special needs children, I'm thrilled to see mainstream Bollywood tackling autism sensitively. The standing ovation at NDA speaks volumes about how they've handled the army angle. Kudos to the team!

The Delhi CM's support is great, but I hope they make the movie accessible to all children across India, not just Delhi. Our rural schools need such inspirational content too! #CinemaForAll
