All that matters to Dibakar Banerjee is that 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar' has earned a nod of approval from his 85-year-old mother. A quick glance at social media will tell you that there are countless others who share his mother’s opinion. Ever since the Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra-starrer dropped on Amazon Prime Video, there has been an outpouring of love from viewers, something the film didn’t receive upon its theatrical release in March. 

The man behind the black comedy doesn’t quite know how to react to the appreciation. “I’m not on social media, so I have no idea about the reaction. I get to know [about the film’s success] through happy calls from the studio,” begins Banerjee, laughing that his leads keep calling to apprise him of the growing love for the satire. “This is the film you would’ve seen theatrically. We haven’t changed an iota of it.”
