Imtiaz Ali + AR Rahman + Diljit Dosanjh? This is like a dream team coming together! After Chamkila, I have full faith in this combo. Baisakhi 2026 seems so far away though 😭 Can't wait for the music teasers at least!

Interesting to see Naseeruddin Shah in an Imtiaz Ali film - such different styles! Hope the script does justice to his talent. Also, Vedang Raina is such a fresh face, loved him in The Archies. Exciting times for Bollywood! 🤩

Imtiaz sir's films are either masterpieces or miss the mark completely. Hope this one leans more towards Jab We Met than Love Aaj Kal 2. That Momin quote gives me hope though - seems like a deep emotional story is coming!

Diljit and Sharvari as leads? Interesting pairing! I hope it's not another rich boy-poor girl story though. Imtiaz needs to show some new shades of romance. The mention of "story of a country" makes me think it might have patriotic elements too.

AR Rahman's music is the real hero here! Even if the movie is average, we'll get some soulful tracks. Remember Tamasha's soundtrack? Pure gold! Hope Irshad Kamil writes meaningful lyrics like always.

Sharvari's excitement is so genuine! It's refreshing to see young actors who still get starstruck by great directors. Hope she gets a meaty role and not just a flowerpot character. The cast looks balanced between veterans and newcomers 👌
