The 'Neerja' actress made her comeback to the screen with the 2023 crime thriller “Blind”, in which she portrayed a visually impaired ex-police officer. The film marked her return to acting following a break she took after welcoming her son, Vayu, in 2022.

While the performances were great, I felt the movie whitewashed many controversial aspects of Sanjay Dutt's life. Rajkumar Hirani is a brilliant director but this could have been more balanced.

Vicky Kaushal stole the show as Kamli! His friendship scenes with Ranbir were the heart of the movie. Deserved all the awards that year!

Sonam's role was small but impactful. She's such a versatile actress - from Neerja to Blind, she keeps surprising us with her choices. Excited for her next project!
