Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Congress and other opposition parties for spreading misinformation about various films, including Dhurandar, The Kerala Story, and The Kashmir Files. He accused them of consistently misleading the public and spreading falsehoods. Modi highlighted that the opposition’s tendency to lie extended to issues like the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). Despite their claims, Modi emphasized that these legislations have not harmed the country. The Prime Minister pointed out that the opposition’s habit of spreading lies extended to movies like Dhurandar, The Kerala Story, and The Kashmir Files.
Films such as Dhurandar: The Revenge, The Kashmir Files, and The Kerala Story have become contentious due to their subject matter. Dhurandar: The Revenge focuses on themes of national security and conflict, promoting a strong nationalist narrative that drew criticism from the Congress and other opposition parties. The Kashmir Files portrays the plight of Kashmiri Pandits during the 1990s, emphasizing violence and displacement. While some praised the film for highlighting a historical event, it also faced backlash for presenting a one-sided view. The Kerala Story depicts women from Kerala being recruited into extremist groups, addressing issues of radicalization and exploitation. The film was met with opposition from the Congress and others over allegations of exaggeration and targeting specific communities.
