This is a historic occasion. Perhaps for the first time, Hindi cinema has tried to touch the pulse of Hindi society at such a deep level. The story of Manoj Sharma, who became IPS despite once failing in 12th class, actually shakes every person who has accepted failure as his destiny in life. The film forces him to give himself another chance, to ‘restart’ his journey![14] [11]

In 2022, Divyakirti faced major criticism over his comments about the Ramayana , quoting a Sanskrit author that after the war, Rama said to Sita, "I (Ram) did not fight this war for you (Sita) but for the respect of my lineage. Just as ghee licked by a dog is not fit for eating, you, Sita, are not fit for me."[16] [17] Sadhvi Prachi shared a clip of his statement on X The Lallantop [17]
Divyakirti does not believe in caste system , his surname is the result of his parents' literary interests.[18]
