After praising the film during his speech, Nag Ashwin said, "Mrunal, I think you are amazing. I am generally very protective of the stuff that you pick. Whenever you do something that's not great, I am like, why is she doing that? She deserves to do much better stuff. And whenever there's a character that has that depth or sorrow or pain, I think you are like that era of Madhubala and Smita Patil; there are not many people like this. So please don't do random stuff and do good stuff."

This man has really helped me. Such a positive person—he deserves all the success."
