Last night, a host of celebrities gathered to witness Advait Chandan's Loveyapa at a special screening. The premiere of Khushi Kapoor and Junaid Khan’s debut film became a starry affair. Javed Akhtar called it ‘bahut kamaal,’ Dharmendra described it as a ‘ghar ghar ki kahaani’, with Ali Fazal and Shabana Azmi also sharing their reviews.
According to Hindustan Times, a video shared by the film's team from the screening showcases various actors, directors, and film personalities praising the Khushi Kapoor and Junaid Khan starrer. Veteran actor Dharmendra lauded the natural performances of the young stars, saying, “Ghar ghar ki kahani hai ye. Very natural, kahin bhi aisa nhi laga acting kar raha hai.” (This is the story of every home. He acted very naturally, never did it seem like he was putting on a show).
Ali Fazal gave the film a thumbs-up, while Shabana Azmi called it 'very nice' and noted how it highlights our growing obsession with mobile phones. Javed Akhtar also praised the film, calling it “bahut kamaal ki alag picture hai”. (It's a wonderful, very different movie).
At Wednesday’s screening, Aamir Khan was joined by his friends and industry icons Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, making it a star-studded affair. Alongside the three Khans, the event also saw young stars like Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, Vedang Raina, and Ibrahim Ali Khan, who grabbed attention with their presence.
