Amitabh Bachchan also heaped praise on grandson Agastya’s performance, writing on his blog, “Tonight, to see him in frame, I was unable to take my eyes off him each time he appeared. His maturity, his unfiltered honesty in performance, his presence justifying the character he portrays—nothing frill or froth, just Arun Khetarpal the soldier, who fought with bravery as a 21-year-old, defending the nation during the India–Pakistan war of 1971. Nothing excessive, just perfection in every shot. When he is in the frame, you only watch him. And this is not a grandfather speaking; this is a hardened viewer of cinema.”
