She says so much with so much subtlety but more than that , watching such a soulful film , an incredible love story , beautiful storytelling with truth bombs dropping with such humour every ten minutes . I cried like a baby. I took my driver Narayan ji with me who is from Bihar and he was like “gaanv ki yaad aa gayi” . The truth in the eyes of the actors who I have never seen before , all fresh faces with a lifetime performance from @ravikishann , the production design , the cinematography and then the writing by @snehadesaiofficial and team . Reminded me of the honesty, sensitivity and empathy of people in the india I grew up that now seems gone . And it is as funny and emotional as it is sincere . I can only just go on gushing about it."
He continued, "Kudos to the filmmaker, the team . Saw it in a packed house and luckily we book the best seats in the house in advance . It was pure bliss . The boy who plays Deepak and the Phool and then Pushpa raani and Daadi and Dubey ji , everyone just got to my gut. Don't miss this film , it's unforgettable . The music . Aah .. made my day , after watching two back to back brilliant Malayalam films (Manjummel boys and Bramayugam) and feeling why are we not doing it in Hindi cinema and then saw that Kiran actually has gone and done it , like @vidushak did with AIR . It has been a great beginning of 2024 for cinema in india for me . Thank you . Unmissable . Absolutely a Nirmal film set in Nirmal Pradesh."
