Original review summary

The review says the video was uploaded on 26 December 2025, before the film’s 19 March 2026 release. It identifies the footage as a “Grand Operation” by a local NGO and Pakistani police to identify drug addicts and refer them to rehabilitation centres, not a search for Indian spies.[S1]
