He acknowledged the dedication and effort put into the film, believing that the story truly resonated with someone's real experiences - referring to Najeeb, on whose life the film is based.
"Mani Ratnam (who was also present at the screening) wondered how you worked. In the interval, you feel like drinking more water. Your thirst for making a different kind of cinema is also seen," he said. Furthermore, he appreciated a particular scene involving Prithviraj, highlighting the unexpected depth achieved.
