Mukesh Chhabra breaks silence Controversy surrounding Reet Padda's remarks on Dhurandhar: The Revenge With several celebrities, critics and fans giving their opinion about Dhurandhar 2, Aneet Padda's sister was amongst them. However, her remarks sparked an online debate leading to her being slammed. Through her social media account, she stated, ‘Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar and the Anupam Kher starrer The Kashmir Files are propaganda films.’ Also Read: Aneet Padda shares heartfelt birthday message to Saiyaara co-star Ahaan Panday; 'You were always a star' She wrote, “Dhurandhar, it literally serves as a government-friendly narrative, using political speeches to justify, say the minor hiccup of demonetisation. Call it propaganda? Yep. Deny it? Not a chance. But, maybe your definition of propaganda is...different; who knows?” Also Read: Bollywood’s next-gen stars! Abhay Verma, Aneet Padda and Lakshya make it to Forbes India 30 Under 30 She further added, "The films apparently enjoy a bit of creative maths: "32,000 women converted to Islam!’ when real cases barely scrape a few hundred.' But hey, that's how propaganda works, right? Take a sliver of truth, sprinkle in some absurdly inflated numbers, and suddenly you've got a full blown narrative against a community… I never said the problems didn't exist, but these films clearly push a certain narrative and deviation is apparently optional. I'd love to hear about the ‘real’ ground reality from someone in the know...if only you weren't hiding behind a faceless, anonymous account.”

<p>Co-directed by Das and Kavi Shastri, the Hindi-language spy action-comedy film revolves around Happy Patel, a chef living in London with two ex-MI7 spies.

However, he is eventually recruited by MI7 and sent to Goa to find a missing British scientist. His adventures in Goa form the rest of the plot.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/sanjay-dutt-snaps-at-paparazzi-during-family-outing-in-mumbai-watch-1774680369602"><strong>Sanjay Dutt snaps at paparazzi during family outing in Mumbai | Watch</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Apart from Das, the movie also stars Mona Singh, Sumukhi Suresh, Aamir Khan, Sharib Hashmi and Srushti Tawde.</p><h2>Happy Patel review</h2><p>WION's Shomini Sen called the spy parody, 'a messy fever dream'</p><p>''The film has a lot of Vir Das. While the comedian’s act on stage has been well-received across the world, he is not the right choice to play a leading man in a comedy film.

Das grimaces and shrugs through the two-hour-long comedy and shines mostly in the first half. His aide, Sharib Hashmi, has a more natural flair with his comic timing on screen, but gets limited scope to shine,'' Sen writes. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/happy-patel-khatarnak-jasoor-review-more-chaos-than-comedy-vir-das-s-spy-parody-is-a-messy-fever-dream-1768557135201"><i>Read the full review here.&nbsp;</i></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
