Internet Reactions: Fans Are Divided

While Sunny Deol’s fans have shown overwhelming support and excitement for the movie, praising the actor’s return to an intense role, some internet users took a more humorous approach to the poster. Reddit users, in particular, pointed out the absurdity of the massive fan weapon, with some making jokes about the prop. Comments such as I am truly blown away and What A ugly poster highlighted the mixed reception of the look. Another user sarcastically noted, Jaat is not a good name for the movie.. It should be Kabhie Pump, Kabhie Fan!, poking fun at the choice of weapon.

Despite the humor, fans remain enthusiastic about the film. Many commented on how they can’t wait to see Sunny Deol in action again, with references to his iconic punch dialogues and past action roles.
