This scheme’s worst fall on file is about 48%. Before you SIP, ask whether you would keep contributing through a similar drop - pausing on fear is the usual India MF failure mode.
SIP discipline
Review does not mean stop the SIP tomorrow - compare peers first. Stopping on a red label often locks in the worst path.
