So excited for this! Anupam Kher is such a versatile talent. Can't wait to see what he's created after 20 years away from directing. The Cannes selection is huge! 👏

MM Keeravani's involvement has me really intrigued. After RRR's success, his music will definitely elevate the film. Hope the story lives up to the hype though.

Om Jai Jagdish was such a wholesome family drama. If Tanvi The Great has even half of that emotional depth, it'll be worth watching. Fingers crossed!

Respectfully, I hope this isn't just another "universal theme" film that ends up being too generic. Indian cinema needs more bold, specific storytelling. Still, wishing the team success at Cannes.
