Alia Bhatt’s portrayal of Kaira’s mental health journey, along with Shah Rukh Khan’s portrayal of the unconventional psychiatrist, Dr. Jehangir Khan (Jug), was beyond powerful and truly captivating.

While the incredible performances by the cast left us spellbound, Aditya Roy Kapur’s surprise cameo as the ‘kursi’ Kaira was searching for not only brought a smile to our faces but also provided the perfect ending to this heartfelt movie.
