Just done watching #Glory and Pulkit Samrat completely changed my perception of him as an actor with this performance. Divyendu also does a fine job and fits well into the narrative. pic.twitter.com/OzVI8EPzVq

What seems to have impressed audiences the most is the visible shift in Pulkit’s screen presence and acting depth. Known largely for lighter, comic roles in the past, the actor appears to have stepped into a far more mature and emotionally demanding space with Glory. Fans have noted that his performance feels more controlled, evolved and impactful, reflecting a significant growth in his craft.

Alongside Pulkit, Divyendu has also earned appreciation for his restrained and effective performance, with viewers praising the chemistry and balance both actors bring to the narrative. Together, they have added emotional weight and realism to the film’s storytelling.
