While I appreciate films that spark discussion, I hope they've done proper historical research. The Taj Mahal's architecture clearly shows Mughal influences. Let's not rewrite history based on WhatsApp forwards 🙏

Paresh Rawal in courtroom scenes is always a treat! Remember his iconic dialogues in 'Aitraaz'? This film sounds like it will make us think while entertaining. October 2025 seems so far away though 😅

As someone who recently visited the Taj Mahal, I'm curious how they'll handle this controversial topic. The beauty of the monument transcends these debates - can't we just appreciate it as world heritage?

The timing right before Independence Day is clever marketing. "Intellectual terrorism" is a strong term though - hope the film handles this sensitive topic with nuance and not just sensationalism.

After seeing Paresh Rawal in 'Ajey', I know he'll bring depth to this role too. But I wish filmmakers would focus more on present issues rather than constantly revisiting history. We have enough problems today that need cinematic attention!
