Stars praise the honest story

Pankaj Kapur shared his thoughts on the film. “What makes Jab Khuli Kitaab truly special is Saurabh Shukla’s vision. It’s rare to find a filmmaker who chooses to shine a spotlight on older, mature love, and to do it with such honesty, humour, and tenderness. Saurabh has crafted a narrative that is not only refreshing but deeply real. He reminds us that love doesn’t fade with age; it evolves, it complicates, it bruises, and it heals,” Kapur said.

Dimple Kapadia spoke about her role as Anusuya. “The film truly felt like a project where all my boxes were ticked: a beautiful story, the opportunity to work with Pankaj Kapur, and to be directed by Saurabh ji, all while basking in the beauty and divine energy of the mountains. Anusuya is written with such depth and honesty that it was a joy to explore her many shades. What drew me to her is the simplicity of intention; she isn’t trying to break her marriage; she’s trying to be honest within it,” she added.

 Why watch this film?
