In a recent interview, Abhishek Bachchan shared how he maintains his optimism despite challenges. Abhishek spoke about his belief in “dhridhta (tenacity),” emphasising the importance of staying true to one’s core values even amid life’s constant changes. In a conversation with ETimes, he highlighted the need for unchanging principles, even as one evolves and adapts. “Jab bura apni buraai na chhode, toh accha apni acchai kyun chhode? (If the bad doesn’t stop being bad, why should the good stop being good),” he remarked.

Abhishek also underlined the significance of finding hope in difficult times, describing it as the driving force that inspires and sustains life. The actor also praised Shoojit Sircar for crafting an uplifting film out of a potentially heavy subject, avoiding the pitfalls of excessive emotional tragedy.

In her review of the movie, SCREEN’s Shubhra Gupta wrote, “Abhishek Bachchan lets go of vanity, revealing a thickened gut, and scars-on-the-belly, and an ability to bare. But Shoojit Sircar’s film leaves you wanting more.”
