"Our film 'Mehbooba' has been receiving a tremendous response across all the centres in which it released yesterday," Puri Jagannadh today said in a statement.

Directed by the Dashing Director, it stars Akash Puri and Neha Shetty in lead roles. "We are happy that the openings are huge although the hero is new. As a father, I am so very happy that people are talking positively about Akash's performance and dialogue-delivery," Puri noted.

The film is visually good and the director is glad it has been acknowledged. "The cinematography and music have been well-received. My special thanks to the audience for patronizing 'Mehbooba' and Akash.

As a director, I am motivated by this. I congratulate my entire team. The success of 'Mehbooba' will inspire me to make bigger hits in future," Puri added.
