Bohut hi behtareen film hai (It’s an amazing film).” The actor git really emotional and wiping his tears, Aamir said, “It has happened for the first time that a film has received a standing ovation during a private screening. I don’t have words to say. The way you have captured the emotions of girls and boys of India, it’s unbelievable. The way the children have worked is unbelievable.”
Khan further added, “What a film you have made! It’s a fantastic film. It’s very unique, I don’t know how you guys were able to make it. The spirit that you have captured doesn’t come from logic. The film breaks and undoes whatever we have learnt in the last 20-30 years (waves his hand). You have made a football of that (laughs).”
