Revealing that he had watched Nolan's film Dunkirk, the Family Man actor saidthat the concept of war has always been disturbing for him.

He said, “I did a film called LOC and even then, I was bothered while shooting it. The whole concept of war is (disturbing) because people die, they kill each other. It is disturbing. You must talk to soldiers on sensitive borders, they would tell you about it."

Sharing his interaction with the soldier, he said, ''One day I asked a soldier, ‘Do you talk to the soldier on the other end,’ and he replied, ‘Yes. When there is a ceasefire, we do talk.’ I then asked, ‘What happens then when it stops? His answer was, ‘If I don’t kill them, they will kill me.’"

Bhaiyya Ji Review

WION's Pragati Awasthi called the movie one of the most disappointing works of Bajpayee's career.

''From the first frame, you are already aware of what is going to come next. From action to drama to the dialogues- everything feels overdramatised. At one point, it felt like an early 2000s Hindi movie, with action inspired by a South Indian movie, with melodrama from a Bhojpuri movie thrown in between.

It's tough to think of a particular scene that felt real. From the opening shot to the end, everything felt like a sham. Even the big swords and wrenches looked like props from some D-grade play. The blood and violence shown in the movie cross all the levels of tackiness.'' Read the review here.
