The audiences were enjoying the film throughout and applauded the actors and makers.
Rahat said, “The film is really relevant in today’s times because it revolves around greed and how it leads to frustrations and disappointment. We are so happy that meaningful films like these are finding an audience abroad and we are getting such response and respect for it. While making the film we knew it had great potential because the script was good, but I never knew it will open to such great reviews at the world premiere. This only makes us look forward to making more such films internationally. My crew and team is also excited with the opening here in London.”
The entire team was seen celebrating the reviews and response it evoked. The film will release in India and other parts of the world soon.
