  • PM Modi praised the filmmakers for their effort to uncover the truth, while Union ministers Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh also lauded the movie's narrative.
  • Opposition leaders criticized the screening, calling it inappropriate, with some MPs boycotting the event, citing concerns over the film's political implications.
  • The movie, declared tax-free in several BJP-ruled states, has been promoted as shedding light on historical events, with lead actor Vikrant Massey calling the screening a career high point.
