Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2 is making history at the box-office, but there’s a section that has critiqued the film for its narrative and the word being used is propaganda. ‘Saiyaara’ star Aneet Padda’s sister Reet wrote a long note on her Instagram account to opine on the current blockbuster.
Reet commented- “Oh, look at me, actually responding to a comment on social media - shocking, I know. Normally, I don’t bother, because clearly trying to change someone’s mind here is like trying to teach cats to do calculus. But, since you’ve so generously invested your precious time reacting to every little thing I’ve reposted, I thought, why not? Let’s go point by point, just so I can try to understand your apparently endless issues with my stance.”
She added, “First, the whole thing about calling films like Kashmir Files, Kerala Files, and Dhurandhar propaganda. For Dhurandhar, it literally serves as a government-friendly narrative, using political speeches to justify, say, the minor hiccup of demonetisation. Call it propaganda? Yep. Deny it? Not a chance. But maybe your definition of propaganda is… different, who knows.”
“Third, Priyanka Chopra and her international platform. She’s got a chance to oppose an illegal war next to someone taking a stand, and… she can’t even clap. If my sister gets that kind of opportunity, and Inshallah, sache patshah, jai shri ram, I pray she rises to the occasion and she chooses to stand there like a dodo bird, I will be the first one to call it out. I’d love to hear more about this ‘aid’ Priyanka has supposedly provided. Enlighten me, please.”
After delivering the biggest opening weekend ever for an Indian film worldwide, the film sustained its phenomenal momentum through the weekdays, recording outstanding collections on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and setting new benchmarks for weekday business across India and overseas markets.
