Ahead of the trailer launch, the makers of the exodus drama have launched a video on social media that showcases the heartfelt and natural response by the viewers across the USA. While praising the movie, one viewer said, “This movie has such a unique message that the world cannot see what is happening there”, whereas the other mentioned while getting emotional, “I have lived what we have gone through. I could see the pain in my parents’ eyes. You all have done a great job in making this movie and bringing the truth in front of the world.”
The screenings echoed the same sentiments from the viewers who couldn’t stop praising the movie talking about the plight of Kashmiri pandits.
