Meghna Gulzar always delivers meaningful cinema. After Raazi and Chhapaak, excited to see what social issue she tackles this time. The presence of Gulzar saab on sets is the cherry on top! ❤️

Interesting to see the cultural aspects - the puja ceremony before shooting shows how deeply rooted traditions are in Indian filmmaking. Looking forward to this cross-industry collaboration.

Kareena's 68th film! What an incredible journey she's had. From being a star kid to becoming one of our most respected actors. Hope Daayra adds another feather to her cap.

While I appreciate the star power, I hope the film doesn't become too preachy. Sometimes social message films lose entertainment value. Balance is key. Fingers crossed! 🤞
