There's no conflict in both statements.

Not going to bother with a #DhurandharTheRevenge review. No point being called contrarian and much worse. Suffice to say propaganda ought to be more than a simplistic mere statement of events. It should be able to weave through society and culture and become ingrained. But I suppose we've been gaslit so badly that even this is profound. I generally pushback at that notion. No one accepted the Hindu terror bogey, for example. Anyway, in time, when there is more evenness in the writing of history, I think we can look back at the two Dhurandhar films as decent action films and not much more.


Satyajit Ray has won an Oscar and inspired filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Spielberg and Christopher Nolan, while Aditya Dhar has nothing to his name except his propaganda whitewashing Modi movies, he isn’t even close to Ray’s toenail.

"Negotiations" this word the people of the world hate most. You can stand against the devil fighting. The moment you stop you're done.
