Together, they breathe life into a narrative that walks the fine line between emotional depth and youthful exuberance.

Produced under the Yash Raj Films banner, the film has also secured a digital home with Netflix, although the OTT release date is yet to be confirmed. This move is expected to widen its reach, especially among young audiences resonating with its chart-topping music and modern emotional themes.
