Amid the release of Aditya Dhar’s film ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge,’ Congress leaders have expressed strong objections, alleging a hidden agenda behind the movie. Congress MP Tariq Anwar raised concerns about the film’s violent content, deeming it unsuitable for young audiences. Anwar emphasized that portraying specific communities negatively could fuel hatred and urged government intervention.
Congress leader Rajesh Rathod accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of using such films to stoke animosity for political gain. Similarly, Congress leader Asit Nath Tiwari warned against any form of media that incites division, stating that it undermines national unity. Tiwari criticized the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and BJP for their alleged divisive tactics.
In addition to political leaders, Muslim religious figures like Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi and Maulana Chaudhary Ifraheem Husain criticized the film for potentially exacerbating Hindu-Muslim tensions. Despite the controversies, ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge,’ featuring Ranveer Singh, has seen a successful box office debut. The movie, which earned Rs 75 crore globally on its opening day, faced some show cancellations in India, possibly impacting its final earnings.
