While I enjoyed the film overall, I felt the second half dragged a bit. The comedy was brilliant but some emotional scenes could've been tighter. Still, impressive box office numbers!

Leon James' music was the real hero for me. That "Araajagam" theme plays in my head daily! 50 days is no joke in today's OTT era. Well done team Dragon! 🔥
