Just days after its release, Dhurandhar-2 has ignited a massive political controversy. At the centre of the storm is the portrayal of Atiq Ahmed-shown in the film as “Atif Ahmed”-with alleged links to terror networks and organized crime.
The debate has intensified after Pooja Pal, wife of slain MLA Raju Pal, backed Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, calling him a “Dhurandhar CM” for cracking down on mafia networks.
Meanwhile, Akhilesh Yadav has slammed the film as “propaganda,” accusing the ruling party of using cinema to target the opposition-while BJP leaders defend it as a reflection of reality.
Is Dhurandhar-2 exposing uncomfortable truths-or is it politically motivated storytelling? Has cinema become the newest battleground in Indian politics? Watch the full report.
