Malhotra plays the central character and Advani essays the role of her fiancée Dimple Cheema. Owing to the rave reviews that have been coming their way, the entire team of the film decided to come together under one roof and celebrate the success.
The bash was attended by the lead cast, the producer and the director. Advani’s fan-club shared some pictures on its Instagram account. Have a look right here:

Recently, when asked about the film and the power that the script had, the actress revealed, “Even at a script level, we knew this film had the potential to move people. But the response has surpassed our expectations,” she begins. The team’s biggest win is that the biopic on Captain Vikram Batra has been highly appreciated by the Batra family.
Asked if she has heard from Dimple Cheema yet, Advani — who plays Batra’s love interest in the Amazon Prime Video offering — says, “I messaged her after the film. This is an emotional movie for her. I want to respect her privacy right now. When I met Captain Batra’s family after the film, they said I was exactly like [Dimple]. That moved me to tears. I know the songs have deeply touched her. She must be proud that the story is resonating with people.”
The film’s post-credits reveal that after the Kargil War hero’s demise, Cheema decided to not marry. The actor says she bought into their love story instantly, rare as it was. “I believe in that kind of eternal love. I have seen examples of that in my parents, and now, in Dimple’s love story. It is aspirational for a generation like ours, which is more fast-paced.”
