I don't get the hype around Dhurandhar Returns - Page 4

The movie is one of its kind. it should not be compared with regular movies that shows violence. there is no mysoginy, vulgarity. Just pure storytelling. audience accepted it with open arms.

I think even Indians, who are not patriotic can thoroughly enjoy this.

So are you going to describe the very recent Border 2 as ‘pro-Pakistan’ next? The joke’s on you

The complete first overview by AI was this for Sarfarosh controversies (which doesn't mean that it reflects my own opinion, okay?) - SouthPark only quoted the first one...

• "Aamir Khan's Defense: Aamir Khan, who starred in the film, recalled that they had to argue with the board that if Indian officials could name Pakistan in Parliament, the film should be allowed to do so as well.
• "Othering" and Identity Politics: The film has been analyzed for focusing on a "Hindu-Muslim" insider-outsider narrative, with some critics arguing it "othered" Indian Muslims by making them prove their national loyalty, while simultaneously presenting Pakistanis as inherently dangerous.
• Post-Partition Anxiety: The film used the figure of a Pakistani Ghazal singer as a "Muhajir" (refugee) who has turned into a terrorist, which some researchers felt amplified anxieties about historical partition and loyalty, reinforcing a "US vs. THEM" narrative.
• Direct Naming: The film is credited as one of the first Indian films to boldly use the names "Pakistan" and "ISI" explicitly instead of euphemisms like "padosi mulk" (neighboring country), which made the film highly controversial at the time but later set a trend in Bollywood.

Despite these worries, Sarfarosh was released and went on to be a huge success, coinciding with the Kargil War, which made it appear topical rather than merely jingoistic."

When scrolling down, one can find media-articles relative to that matter...

Actually, to me, it is a matter of doing research about a subject I want to get informed about instead of blindly giving a judgement
