Finally some original content instead of remakes! The twin brothers concept with love triangle sounds interesting. Hope it lives up to the expectations.

Good decision to shorten the title. "Babloo Nishaanchi, Rangilee Rinku, and Dabloo" would have been too much for posters and promotions! Marketing team must have breathed a sigh of relief 😅

Interesting to see Aaishvary Thackeray's debut. Political family background but choosing cinema - brave move. Hope the performance matches the hype.

While I appreciate Anurag's work, I hope this isn't another overly dark film. Sometimes his storytelling becomes too gritty. Need some balance in Indian cinema.

The cast looks promising - Zeeshan Ayyub and Kumud Mishra are always brilliant. September is going to be a good month for cinema lovers with both Nishaanchi and The Fable releasing!
