Tom Cruise is ageless! 61 and still doing his own stunts like a boss 🇮🇳 Excited that we get early release in India - shows how important our market is for Hollywood now. The Last Samurai is still my favorite Cruise film though!

The dedication this man shows to his craft is inspiring. But I do wish Bollywood would learn from his professionalism rather than just copying action sequences. Our industry needs this level of commitment to quality.

Early release in India is great, but ticket prices for Hollywood films are becoming ridiculous. ₹800 for a multiplex ticket? At least give us better theater experiences if we're paying this much.

The Val Kilmer tribute made me emotional 🥺 Top Gun was my childhood! Can't wait to see what stunts Tom has prepared this time. Hope they don't overdo the CGI though - the real stunts are what make MI special.

While I enjoy these films, I wonder when we'll see an Indian action star get this level of global recognition. We have the talent, but our films need better writing and international appeal beyond just song sequences.

The French jets lighting up the sky last time was epic! Hope they do something special for this premiere too. Tom Cruise knows how to put on a show both on and off screen 👏
