Netflix India shared some photos inside photos from the screening and starry can't even begin to describe it. The Bachchans cheered for Agastya Nanda. Shah Rukh Khan and family formed Suhana's cheer squad and of course the Kapoors rooted for Khushi. Sharing the album, Netflix India wrote, "One magical night, countless emotions." The first frame features the 3 generations - Abhishek, Amitabh Bachchan and Agastya Nanda. The second click is that of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Hrithik Roshan and Sana Azad cheered for Zoya Akhtar at the screening. Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor were pictured with Juhi Chawla at the screening.
Aditya Roy Kapur and Ananya Panday, rumoured to be dating, were also clicked together. Dot, who stars as Ethel Muggs in the film, was pictured with Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar. Sunny Kaushal and Sharvari were all smiles. Shah Rukh Khan and Vir Das in a picture-perfect frame.
