The report also suggested that the film's ambitious size, visual effects, and emotional storyline have received "overwhelmingly positive" initial reviews from viewers.
According to the source, the screening was mainly done as a test to see how the plot would be received by the public, which allowed the filmmakers to make any necessary adjustments before the Diwali release.
