Talking about Dinesh Karthik’s review, the Tamil Nadu native wrote, “SCALE and GRANDEUR. I'm sure it will become the Highest grossing INDIAN movie ever! What an amazing effort by @Atlee_dir to bring @iamsrk in so many avatars, my fav being Vikram Rathore, style and charisma like no one else ever has seen from SRK! I remember when in 2018 I started with KKR and that's when Atlee had started talks with SRK and infact he came for CSK vs KKR match at Chennai
It's taken 5 long years, so many discussions, so many small script tweaks and so much has happened in this time and to put everything in perspective and bring it out so well in a proper commercial manner and to make every frame so much fun, filled with style and oomph was worth the wait!
Kudos to @VenkyMysore sir, I'm soo happy for him. He has worked tirelessly in the background and to have such a COLOSSAL hit is richly deserved for him. Massive congrats to the whole jawan team!
@NayantharaU and @VijaySethuOffl You guys are pan-India heroes and so nice to see y'all holding your own in every scene and showing your skills. @anirudhofficial The Rockstar of today and with every movie you're scaling to a different height brother. BGM was 🔥🔥”
