"Happily sad" – what a beautiful and poignant way to describe the last day of a shoot. It must have been emotional for Sunny to share this. Definitely watching this in theatres to pay tribute.

The He-Man's last film! The subject is also so powerful – Arun Khetarpal's story. A perfect tribute. January 2026 feels so far away though, wish it was releasing this Christmas as planned.

Respectfully, while I love Dharmendra, I feel the focus should be on Lt. Arun Khetarpal's bravery and not just the star cast. Hope the film does justice to his sacrifice for the nation.

Sriram Raghavan directing a war biopic? That's an interesting choice. His style is so different. But with this cast and subject, it should be a blockbuster. Jai Hind!

The caption from Sunny is so heartfelt. "A smile that lit up the darkness." That's the Dharmendra we all know from the screen. A fitting send-off for an icon of Indian cinema.
