Amid the overwhelming success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, a discussion regarding its supposed “propaganda” has emerged online. Numerous individuals have criticized Aditya Dhar for infusing political elements into his action thriller. In the midst of this, actress Aneet Padda’s sister Reet has faced backlash for her outspoken views on such films. In response to a social media user, she condemned the Ranveer Singh film and The Kashmir Files for their “government-aligned narrative.” She also challenged Priyanka Chopra for not utilizing her platform to speak out against the “unlawful war” on Palestine. Her remarks have ignited significant controversy online, with many even involving Aneet in the discussion. Here’s everything you need to know.For those unfamiliar, she recently reacted to a troll’s comment by stating: “For Dhurandhar, it essentially acts as a government-aligned narrative, employing political rhetoric to rationalize, for instance, the minor inconvenience of demonetization. Call it propaganda? Absolutely. Deny it? No way. But perhaps your interpretation of propaganda differs, who knows.”
“Regarding Kashmir Files and Kerala Files, these films seemingly engage in a bit of creative mathematics: ‘32,000 women converted to Islam!’ when actual cases barely reach a few hundred. But hey, that’s how propaganda operates, right? Take a fragment of truth, mix in some grossly exaggerated figures, and suddenly you’ve crafted a full narrative against a community. And sure, I’d be fine with such films… if it weren’t for the minor detail that movies like Punjab 95, which genuinely address political matters but deviate from the ruling party’s narrative, can’t get any recognition,” Reet added.
She further contended that these films promote a particular narrative instead of showcasing the complete realities on the ground. Padda then challenged the anonymous critic for not sharing “authentic” experiences. She also took issue with Priyanka Chopra for not adopting a firmer stance at the Oscars 2026, where her co-presenter Javier Bardem openly supported Palestine.
