Now, he embodies a character whose story he wrote himself!"

"Presenting Col. Pratap Raina... who lets his silence speak louder than his words. But then someone enters his world... someone who has her own interpretation of silence!

Anupam Kher never fails to impress! After watching him in The Kashmir Files, I'm excited to see him bring another powerful character to life. The military angle seems interesting - hope they portray our armed forces with the respect they deserve. 🇮🇳

The cast looks stellar! From Nasser to Boman Irani - what a lineup! 😍 But I hope the story does justice to such talented actors. Recent Bollywood films have been disappointing with weak scripts despite great actors. Fingers crossed!

Interesting that they're premiering at Cannes. Hope this isn't another film made for international festivals rather than Indian audiences. We need stories that resonate with our people, not just get foreign applause.

So happy to see Karan Tacker getting his big break! He was brilliant in Khakee. The transition from TV to films isn't easy, but with Anupam Kher guiding him, I'm sure he'll shine. More power to talented actors getting opportunities!

The description about "silence speaking louder than words" sounds deep. Hope it's not just pretentious marketing talk. Bollywood needs more substance these days. With Anupam Kher directing, there's hope though!

MM Keeravani's music + Resul Pookutty's sound design? The technical team is Oscar-level! 🎶 Hope the story matches up to the talent behind the scenes. Excited to see what this combination creates!
