Mumbai: Bollywood’s latest film, “Dhurandhar,” has sparked controversy for its anti-Pakistan narrative, continuing a trend in some Indian cinema to portray Pakistan negatively. Critics say the film’s storyline reinforces stereotypes and contributes to ongoing tensions between the two countries.
Several Pakistani social media users and cultural commentators condemned the film, calling it a propaganda piece rather than entertainment. Analysts note that such portrayals can impact cross-border perceptions and cultural exchanges.
Despite criticism, “Dhurandhar” has generated significant attention at the box office, with some audiences praising its action sequences while others question the political messaging. Experts suggest that cinema should focus on storytelling and creativity rather than fueling animosity.
The controversy highlights the continuing role of films in shaping public opinion and the delicate nature of India-Pakistan cultural relations.
