YouTuber Dhruv Rathee has ignited a fresh controversy by calling Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge the Bharatiya Janata Party’s most expensive election advertisement. His remarks came in a detailed video analysis that questions the film’s intent and narrative.
Political Allegations Around the Film
Rathee claimed the film is not purely entertainment but a political tool designed to influence viewers. He argued that audiences are effectively paying to watch what he described as propaganda, pointing to its strong ideological messaging. Aditya Dhar, the film’s director, also faced criticism in his comments.
Questions on Narrative and Facts
The YouTuber further alleged that the movie blurs the line between fact and fiction. He criticised its disclaimer, suggesting it allows filmmakers to mix real events with fictional elements, making it harder for viewers to distinguish truth.
Ongoing Debate in Film Industry
Despite record-breaking box office success, the film has triggered debate over political messaging in cinema. While some praise its scale and storytelling, others question its influence on public opinion and voters.
