Javed Akhtar addresses Dhurandhar 2 being called a propaganda movie?
As per the report of PTI, Javed Akhtar was at an event in which he received a special award from a leading city-based jewellery brand for his achievement. During this, he was asked about his opinion on film like Dhurandhar being labelled as propaganda.
He said, "I don't know what you mean by propaganda films. I loved Dhurandhar; it was an excellent film. I liked the first one more than the second. Every story takes a stand, but does it become propaganda because the narrative doesn't suit a section of the audience? Everyone has the right to propagate their ideas. What is wrong with propaganda films? The task of every filmmaker is to present the truth."

At its core, it is a man’s game, run by power, revenge, and dominance, which the first one was too, but this time, all attention is on action, which is way too much. But we must say that Singh has delivered one of the most raw performances of his career. He is brutal; the way he delivers dialogues, both with rage and calmness, stands out. His acting is truly impressive in the bathroom scene where it shows how fragile he becomes when his friend dies."
