Sometimes, an underwhelming response to a film may make the actor reflect on his/her choices. But every once in a while, actors know the true merit of a movie, one that cannot be judged by box-office figures. For Bhumi Pednekar, Afwaah is one such offering. Director Sudhir Mishra’s satire, also starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sumeet Vyas, earned rave reviews from critics on its May release, but could not draw audiences to theatres. With the film slated to drop on Netflix on June 30, Pednekar says that she stands by it, regardless of its box-office run.
