Kangana’s last film, Panga, could not create magic at the box office, despite a spirited performance by the actor and the rest of the team including Richa Chadha (who played her mentor), Neena Gupta and Punjabi singer-turned-actor Jassie Gill. The Hindustan Times review of the film said, “A sincere ode to motherhood and those countless sacrifices that a woman – as a mother and a wife — makes for her family, director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s Panga presents the minutiae of our daily lives as compelling cinema. It is also the story of hope and how dreams don’t come with an expiry date. Kangana’s dialogue, ‘Maa ko sapne dekhne ka haq nahi hota. Agar main fir bhi dekhti hoon to main selfish hoon. I’m a cruel mother,’ resonates with you.”
