Starring Nawazuddin and Chitrangada Satarupa, the film received its World Premiere at Cinequest Film Festival 2025 in San Jose, USA.

Talking about the drama, Nawazuddin shared: ‘The festival is a very warm, cozy festival. They’re very caring of Asian films, and it brings us joy that ours is the opening film. We are all looking forward to seeing it with audiences from Washington. For me to be seeing an actor who is shooting in another country, thousands of miles away, on a video call, and act with them only on the video call for 30 days was a very new experience. After some point, we forgot about the technology and only focused on the emotions."

The supporting cast looks solid too - Zakir Hussain and Pavan Malhotra are always brilliant. Hope this isn't another OTT release and gets proper theatrical screening.

While I appreciate Nawazuddin's talent, I hope this film gets better distribution than his previous projects. Many of his excellent performances go unnoticed due to limited release.

Another Nawaz film screening internationally first! Wish we could watch it simultaneously in India. Our actors are getting global recognition but we have to wait longer to see their work.

The title "Blind Babu" sounds intriguing! Wonder if it's a social commentary or pure entertainment. Either way, with this cast, it's definitely worth watching. 😊
