During the theatrical run, viral short clips and reels had generated mixed reactions; however, watching the full film has led many fans and neutral viewers to praise performances and the emotional core of the story.
Censorship & Certification Notes
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) requested minor cuts and changes prior to theatrical release — reportedly a cut of about ten seconds from intimate scenes and edits to some language. Safety-related advisories (for helmet usage in two-wheeler scenes) were also requested in some instances.
