Please do not miss watching this movie! This movie may be banned or probably many scenes will be deleted as many activist judges and (psuedo) seculars and Congress camp are up in their arms to somehow bring some kind of a ban on shield the truth from the public. This movie shows what can happen, when appeasement for the sake of votes is carried out to the helm with total disregard to national security and justice . The stunning silence of the ruling governments both in the state and center, the media-both Indian and International media and the cover-up was highly favorable for terrorism!
This is a must watch movie. Incidentally this movie has been released across USA and have garnered good reviews. The plight of thousands of Kashmiri pandits has still not been resolved and not gathered sufficient international and domestic support.
@boregowda. It is not in thousands but in Lakhs like 4 or 5 Lakhs. Just because governments wanted to look the other way they manufactured a term “Hindu terrorism ” so that they look secular! . This is not for the weak hearted and some Kashmiris say they showed only 25 percent of the attriiitues -reality for which they have absolute proof! Another terror outfit to watch out is Khalistanis. They have a strong support in Punjab. Sikh for Justice is claiming that they were the reason why AAP got a landslide. They seem to have officially supported AAP as per their own claims. If this is true, that means Punjab is already radicalized.
The problem is the ways Muslims are treated as specal citzens in India, right from the time of Nehru to this day under Modi government. They perpetrate atrocities every where. Kashmir is now a Muslim cregion from a rich Hindu region, thanks to the persecution of Hindus and driving them out from there. Kashmiri country -that is Muslim country is given support asll over Europe and America, when these Kashmri Muslimexcpyatriates put pressure on Western government.
Now with Ukraine invasion, PM Modi’s India is joining Pakistan and China to support Russia and Putin. Do not get deceived by Modi and the BJP.
The Wakf board in every state was established when there was a smaller Muslim population in India-it was bad, but all central governments supported it.
No use in screening this movie, when the real problem is Muslim-loving India, has made this massacre possible.
Repel Muslim personal laws and close Wakf boards for a start.
No use in shedding crocodile tears.
Since the movie is released Congress , Bollywood , urban naxals and Islamic extremists symphothisers and is trying their best discredit the move and sabotage it. Some attempts were done by saying it was a Bjp movie like bjp vaccine. That did not work some theaters posting house full. That too failed and some amateur attempts were made by turning off AC in theater. Now that too failed and all these people have bleeding piles due to Kashmir files.
Hey Sam
You cannot string words properly, I suppose, because of your poor education.
Were you not the same ‘Sam’ who posted in unacceptable language. a few days ago, to a poster who commented on your very poor observation riddled with nonsense?
