Government of India has stated the operation was precise, and was targeted to eliminate the terror infrastructure in Pakistan.

Not sure why they're being vague about the delay reason. If it's related to Operation Sindoor, they should just say so - we all support our forces! Jai Hind 🇮🇳

While I'm excited for the film, I wish Bollywood would stop this last-minute date change trend. It's so confusing for audiences who plan in advance.

Jim Sarbh is such a chameleon actor! From playing a terrorist in Neerja to now this mystery thriller - his range is incredible. Hope this film gets him more mainstream recognition.

The play was amazing! Hope they've kept the dark humor intact. Indian audiences need more whodunnits instead of the usual masala films. Fingers crossed! 🤞
