Eddie Murphy + Eva Longoria is such an unexpected combo! Hope the comedy lands well for Indian audiences. Will watch in English first then Hindi dub.

Not sure about this one. Recent Hollywood comedies haven't been great. But since it's releasing in regional languages, might give it a try.

Eva always brings charm to her roles! The premise sounds fun - like a gender-flipped version of those 80s action comedies. Hope it delivers!

The cast looks promising but I wish they'd cast more diverse actors in lead roles. Still, will watch for Eva - she's underrated! 💪
