Rajeev will find "hyper-toxic nationalism" in this film because it shows our culture and history honestly.

Ajay: Its not about religion... its about invader. Perspective makes the difference

Nice to see the protagonist and the antagonist sit together to promote a film. Haven't seen that in other movies, to my knowledge anyway. Love both these actors and their performances. Both of them I feel are somewhat underrated for the capacity they have to portray roles with absolute conviction and in the most relatable manner.

[GAURAV]

rajput warriors, sikh warriors, maratha warriors damn so much content for future movies...

[pratimanayak]

No one's compairing Saif with Ranveer...cuz he has already proved his mettle as Langda tyagi in Omkara n in other films.if anything Ranveer can learn a thing or two from Saif.

Love this interview. This whole interview is a reflection of how these actors have grown up to be sincere and mature professionals. They spoke very well and never jabber like new comers nowadays. they gave each other time to speak and supported what other person said in a very professional manner. i am actually gonna watch the movie just because of this interview.

[mukundkulkarni]

It's just an honest portrayal of history told without any sugar-coated lies and excellent photography. The last scene just moved me to tears.
