Sentiment — Neutral (38/100)

The tone across the articles is mixed, combining Vikram Bhatt's expressions of gratitude and hardship with the more contentious and strained narrative of the Bhatt brothers' fallout. While Vikram's account conveys personal support amid adversity, the coverage of the brothers' split highlights conflict and disappointment, resulting in an overall balanced but nuanced sentiment.
