If Pathaan gave both conservatives and liberals room to hide, Dhurandhar extends no such courtesy. Aditya Dhar ripped open that tent of hypocrisy and turned the knife.
From Kerala Story, Animal, 12th Fail, to Barbie and Oppenheimer, Indian audiences lapped up these films and were hungry for more. No matter the controversies.
Dunki speaks to youth despair, drying opportunities and Indians' desperation to flee to the West. For mainstream Bollywood to confront one of the biggest political challenges makes SRK's film more than just a heartwarming affair.
Shah Rukh Khan, who has reportedly received death threats over films, will get 11 security personnel, including six commandos, on rotational basis & police escort vehicle.
'Pathaan, Meri Jaan…Memoirs, Analyses, Reflections' includes some big names like Paromita Vohra. Scholars grapple with masculinity, nationalism, and the self.

Best journalists in India are jobless orworking with independent media or on social media. The worst run national media and the most scherewed write movie reviews or write pro goverment articles.
Lollywood leaves no stone unturned to denigrate Bharat and Sanatana Dharma. Why should we hold back?
And the good news is, we have the facts to return the favour with riba (haram interest).
It is amusing to see that one set of pundits becoming alarmed and screaming when a different movie narrative is getting popular acceptance across the country. This movie should be seen as just, a movie. A well made one at that if people can look beyond politics – which is proven by its box office success.
Excellent commercial movie! (“commercial” being the operative word here). Fulminating over it’s messaging is akin to searching for deeper meaning and nuance in a Jerry Bruckheimer film – in that one has to be a special type of disingenuous clown to do so!

I for one can’t help but marvel at the inner workings of such minds! Peace with whom? The people who said Pahalgam was a “false flag”? That said, I sure would like to try some of whatever such sanctimonious peaceniks are consuming!
Finally, a fine journalist turned to mediocrity with an article on cinema… Congratulations Mr Gupta.. Cinema is made by those people based business and art..On based on national agenda..
