Dhruv Rathi’s big attack on Dhurandhar 2: Advertisement of WhatsApp forwards called the film

News India Live, Digital Desk: The film ‘Dhurandhar 2’ may be breaking records at the box office, but the controversy regarding it is deepening on social media. YouTuber Dhruv Rathi, known for his outspoken opinions, has strongly criticized this film. Dhruv has termed the film as a political tool rather than entertainment. He claimed that the story and facts of the film do not seem to be based on any solid research but are inspired by ‘WhatsApp Forwards’ floating on social media. This statement of Dhruv has come at a time when two factions have been formed in the country regarding the film. “This is an advertisement of BJP”: Dhruv Rathi’s harsh words Dhruv Rathi, in his recent video and social media post, targeted the makers of ‘Dhurandhar 2’ and said that this film has been made to promote a particular ideology. He sarcastically said, “Watching the film, it feels as if you are not watching a cinema hall, but a long advertisement of BJP.” Dhruv alleged that complex national issues have been shown in the film in a very superficial and one-sided manner, which can mislead the audience. Battle of Facts vs Fiction: What is the truth of the film? Directed by Aditya Dhar, ‘Dhurandhar 2’ is an action-thriller, which touches upon serious topics like terrorism and national security. While on one hand Yami Gautam and the film team are calling it inspired by patriotism and real events, critics like Dhruv Rathi believe that the facts have been tampered with in the film. Referring to some specific scenes of the film, Dhruv called them ‘exaggerations’ and said that cinema should work to unite the society, not polarize. ‘Word war’ broke out on social media. After this statement of Dhruv Rathi, a debate has started on social media. Supporters of the film say that Dhruv has always taken an ‘anti-establishment’ stance and should respect the creative freedom of the film. At the same time, Dhruv’s supporters argue that it is necessary to raise questions on ‘propaganda films’. At present, there has been no direct response from either director Aditya Dhar nor Yami Gautam, but the pace of the film at the box office is showing no signs of slowing down.
