Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali highly recommended Aaishvary Thackeray's "Nishaanchi 1 and 2," calling it one of the best films of last year and urging audiences to watch both parts together. The film, directed by Anurag Kashyap, stars Thackeray in a dual role as twin brothers whose lives diverge. Despite mixed reviews and a box office underperformance, the movie explores themes of love, rivalry, and fate, featuring a cast including Vedika Pinto and Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub.
