Anushka Sharma's cameo in Babil Khan starrer Qala song 'Ghode Pe Sawaar' leaves netizens surprised

Actors Triptii Dimri and Irrfan Khan’s son Babil Khan have been receiving a lot of appreciation for their performance in the psychological drama Qala. But what caught the attention was Anushka Sharma’s special cameo in the movie.

In the movie, Anushka was seen in a black-and-white montage as a 1940s actor lip-syncing in the Ghode Pe Sawaar song, which was sung by Tripti Dimri’s Qala Manjushree. Netizens also reacted to it, and one of them tweeted, A movie like this comes once every 5-10 years. Such a #dark audio-visual spectacle! @AnushkaSharma ur Production house is #FANTASTIC! - NH10, Pari, Bulbul & Qala (my watched list).” The second one wrote, “One criticism for #Qala is that it was too anglicised. The costumes of Qala in her younger days were weird let alone Indian. Also, #BabilKhan’s character didn’t evoke any emotions. The @ItsAmitTrivedi songs were awesome &  @tripti_dimri23 was fantastic.  @AnushkaSharma’s surprise.”

The third one tweeted, “#Qala -  @samirkochhar @swanandkirkire are wasted & barely get any scope. @nowitsabhi impresses even in a spl appearance. #GirijaOak does well & so does  @varungrover who ironically plays a lyricist in the film as well & gets to mouth some nice lines.  @AnushkaSharma ‘s cameo is fantastic.”

On Saturday, Anushka took to her Instagram story and praised the Qala team and the cast. She wrote, "A daughter`s heartbreaking yearning for her mother’s love. Qala is a work of art. It’s heartbreaking and exhilarating equally. Exhilarating because of the genius of each department that comes through in telling this detailed story and heartbreaking for portraying emotional abuse by an emotionally unstable parent in a way that had never been done before by a film. @Qala streaming now on @netflix_in."

Anushka complemented and praised the director. She wrote, "@anvita_dee UFF!! Your story telling is so true and original and you tell it like a poet, like a painting! You have detailed this film so excellently!"She also praised Triptii`s performance, "@tripti_dimri WOW! You are one of the most talented actors of this generation! Your maturity as an actor and innocence as an artist is so rare!" Anushka continued, "@kans26 BRAVO! For always backing the best content truthfully and raising the bar each time."
