For many, it’s also a welcome throwback to the kind of Bollywood entertainers that had audiences laughing, cheering, and forgetting their worries for a few hours.
Netizens Are Here For The Fun

“first day first show for my baby. just hit intermission and this might be the first time in years where i’m actually having fun and not disappointed by a hindi rom com.”
That’s perhaps the biggest compliment a rom-com can get in today’s time.
