Summary
- Actor-politician Ravi Kishan strongly supports the film Dhurandhar.
- He dismisses claims labeling the blockbuster movie as propaganda.
- Kishan highlights the film's role in reviving the struggling cinema industry.
Actor and Member of Parliament Ravi Kishan has strongly endorsed Aditya Dhar's film, Dhurandhar The Revenge, rejecting accusations that it constitutes propaganda. The film has achieved a significant milestone by entering the ₹1000 crore club, demonstrating its widespread appeal. Kishan expressed disappointment over the criticism, urging for greater support for such cinematic endeavors.
Speaking during a visit to Lucknow, Kishan stated that labeling Dhurandhar as propaganda is "very wrong." He pointed out the support the film received from actors in the South and encouraged a similar open-minded approach from all audiences. He noted a new trend of arbitrarily labeling films as propaganda.
Kishan also underscored the film's positive impact on the film industry, which has been facing considerable challenges. He credited Dhurandhar with drawing audiences back to theaters and providing a substantial boost, particularly to regional cinema like Bhojpuri, which has been severely affected. He compared its impact to that of the classic film Sholay.
Highlighting cinema's role in reflecting society, Kishan remarked that films should present real events and societal occurrences. He also suggested that cinema, through research, could help correct historical narratives by bringing to light "torn away" pages of history. The actor-politician stressed that the industry provides livelihoods for millions and is currently experiencing a crucial revival.
