Even with an injury, Benedict carries himself with such class! That's what makes him Sherlock for us Indians ❤️ His pairing with Wes Anderson is always magical. Can't wait for the Indian release of 'The Phoenician Scheme'!

The arm sling actually adds to his style! Reminds me of when our Bollywood stars turn minor injuries into fashion statements. Hope it's nothing serious though - we need him in more Marvel movies!

Wes Anderson films are like visual poetry. 7.5 minute standing ovation is well deserved! Though I must say, I miss the quirkiness of his earlier works like The Darjeeling Limited which had Indian connections.

Benedict and Sophie make such an elegant couple! Their red carpet appearances always remind me of our Bollywood power couples. That off-shoulder dress is stunning - hope we see similar designs in Indian fashion weeks soon.

The cast list is incredible! Bill Murray and Benicio del Toro together with Cumberbatch? This is going to be epic. Hope PVR brings it to India soon 🤞 Also, get well soon Benedict!

While I admire Benedict's style, I wish Indian actors got similar global recognition at Cannes. Our cinema is equally brilliant. Maybe next year we'll see more Indian representation in the competition section!
