So proud to see Indian talent shining at Cannes! Shannon K has really made her mark with that Coachella performance, and now Cannes again. The combo of Anupam Kher's direction and MM Keeravani's music is 🔥. Can't wait to hear the soundtrack!

Interesting to see Anupam Kher directing after so many years! Om Jai Jagdish was decent, but hope this one has better writing. Shannon's voice is beautiful though - her rendition of "Tum Hi Ho" was magical. Fingers crossed for Tanvi The Great!

Cannes is becoming a second home for Indian cinema! From RRR to now this - our stories are getting global recognition. Shannon representing the new gen while Anupam ji brings the experience. Perfect combo! 🇮🇳

I hope the film lives up to the hype. Sometimes these international premieres feel more about glamour than substance. But with Keeravani's music and Shannon's voice, at least the songs will be good! 🤞

The cast looks interesting with Iain Glen from Game of Thrones! But I wish they'd revealed more about Shubhangi's role. Is this another 'Indian girl needs foreign validation' story or something fresh? The title sounds promising though!
