Her powerful performance in the trailer and her chemistry with Kumud Mishra have won the hearts of the audience. Besides Taapsee, the film features seasoned actors like Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Revathi, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in important roles. Additionally, the special appearances of Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa further enhance the film's acting prowess.
