I am a huge fan of Rajkumar rao but his performance in this movie was pretty underwhelming. His dialogue delivery seemed a bit poor which is something you dont expect from rajkumar rao.
Loved how Priyanka mentions Adarsh when things were becoming about the rest in the beginning, and just cheers him. We need more stars cheering new stars and making them comfortable, like she did. Adarsh has a bright career ahead, can't wait to see more of him!
ADARSH GOURAV IS THE STAR OF THIS MOVIE.

Bullshit movie. Kill someone for a startup?!!
with all due respect to all the characters, Adarsh probably had the most challenging one. He is a method actor like Nawazuddin, Ed Norton, or a Christian Bale. Can't wait to see what's in the future for this young man. Great job Adarsh, i have watched the movie 2 times and I will be watching it many more, as I know that every time I watch it, I will see something new that hasn't been noticed before. Raj Kumar Rao has a noteworthy role but Adarsh just blew my mind! Perhaps I saw a little bit of me in Balram. what a story!

Adarsh Gourav was stunning in movie. A bloody phenomenal piece of acting. I hope he wins Oscar for it .
What Adarsh Gourav did in this movie is a pure geniusity.
Are you kidding me? Adarsh is the soul and heart of the movie. The movie revolves around him yet most of Anupama's questions are directed towards Priyanka and Rajkumar. Adarsh may be unknown but you shouldn't have treated him like a supporting actor. It's an insult. Tomorrow, if he wins an Oscar or a National Award, you are the one who's going to be chasing after him for an interview.

Priyanka Chopra is also an executive producer on this film...so there were questions for both roles I guess
It's because of PC that this movie got the exposure it deserves in her role as a Executive Producer, so that the main character can get the exposure and recognition he rightly deserves not just in Asia but around the world.
I think it's great that priyanka and rajkumar are attaching their name to such an amazing project. Of course the headlines will be about them guys! They are incredibly famous. When people watch the film because of them, they will be left with how amazing adarsh is.
Adarsh did the real method acting for this one....He is amazing
You see at around 5:04 how when Anupama said "...adarash finally it all comes down to you" and PC just genuinely clapped for him... THAT'S Priyanka Chopra everybody.. That's a personality, that's a leader! So proud.. 💙

Their approach to filmmaking was something like theatre. The process is very liberating for actors as it gives you complete freedom to explore your character by unconditionally amercing yourself into him/her . I’m a theatre actor myself and I can imagine how full-filling it must be as an artist.

I love this movie. My family use to be a servant to a landlord when i was young in thailand. I immigrated to america I feel like ive been both balram and akosh. It was such a wonderful experience to see on film. Let me be clear we werent treated like what was portrayed here, but its humbling all the same. And the transformation act although sometimes literal and sometimes symbolic is very accurate. Im just thankful the specifics and superficial aligned with sights and sounds and emotions that i really identified with. Good job guys. Excellent job.

This is a great movie/story. I see several similarities to my Mexico, in terms of ppl, poverty, corruption. India may have castes while Mexico has classism, which is no different. While India is on the other side of the world, we're all humans, after all, with the same wants and hopes. I love movies like these that show the human aspects from different facets: the good, the bad, the ugly -- and the better that could be. May there be more great movies like these.
