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.
Jayalalithaa to Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, and Kamal Haasan, all have enjoyed successful film and political careers. The success depends massively on their fan clubs.
Recalling the controversy before the film's release & the boycott calls against it, the Rajya Sabha MP compared Pathaan's message to the mention of unity & inclusivity in President Murmu's speech.
The current Iran war has laid bare a fundamental reality: 20 per cent of global energy trade cannot afford to rely on a single artery, no matter how resilient and cost-effective.
Regulator seeks feedback on allowing firms to repurchase shares via exchanges after tax changes, as markets reel from war-led selloff and foreign outflows.
It’s easy to understand why the government can’t speak the hard truth. When this war ends, as all wars do, India’s interests will lie with both the winner and the loser.
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! The only greater absurdity would be to talk about “creating a popular mood for peace”, at this stage, ie. literally less than 9 months after the Pahalgam attack! 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..
They could have shown weapons being procured from LeT etc, but in that case there was no justification for Akshay Khanna’s character. This would not have allowed the movie to show the Balloch suffering angle at all. Although, there was creative liberty which betrays logic, but I see that it solved one purpose.

Good film, great film. However, creating a popular mood for peace would get my applause.
