Aneet Padda's sister on why she considers Dhurandhar 2 a propaganda
Reet was responding to a comment on her post that called her out for labelling films like Dhurandhar 2, The Kerala Story, and The Kashmir Files as propaganda. The user also questioned her criticism of Priyanka Chopra for not reacting when her co-presenter at the Oscars stood up for Palestine.
“Look at me actually responding to a comment on social media, shocking, I know,” Reet wrote. “Normally, I don’t bother, because trying to change someone’s mind here is like trying to teach cats calculus. But since you’ve invested time reacting to everything I’ve reposted, let’s go point by point.”
Reet went on to explain her stance in detail. “First, about calling films like The Kashmir Files, The Kerala Story, and Dhurandhar propaganda. Dhurandhar serves as a government-friendly narrative, using political speeches to justify events like demonetisation. Call it propaganda? Yes. Deny it? Not a chance,” she said.
She further added, “As for The Kashmir Files and The Kerala Story, the films seem to rely on exaggerated numbers. Claims like ‘32,000 women converted’ contrast sharply with documented cases. That’s how propaganda works, take a sliver of truth and amplify it into a larger narrative against a community. Meanwhile, films like Punjab ’95, which tackle political issues but don’t align with the ruling narrative, struggle to get released.”
Reet on Priyanka Chopra's silence at Oscars
Responding to criticism of her remarks on Priyanka Chopra, Reet said, “Priyanka had a chance to oppose an illegal war while standing next to someone taking a stand, and she couldn’t even clap. If my sister gets such an opportunity, I hope she rises to the occasion. If she doesn’t, I will be the first to call it out.”
In conclusion, she wrote, “I do not discriminate against individuals. However, I strongly oppose political figures who bring religion into politics, especially when it leads to violence. That is a crime, and I will speak against it. I am not afraid to take a stand, even if it goes against the majority.”
