Tamil Audience Enjoying, But Tamil Makers Crying?

“Propaganda has the power to influence memory, as memory is so fickle. During demonetisation, we all know who has suffered the worst,” said noted Tamil filmmaker Vetrimaaran. While Vetrimaaran is considered to be the cult director that star heroes would love to work with, this comment is not going well with everyone, however.

Other Tamil filmmakers are also expressing their disappointment at Dhurandhar big time. However, all these filmmakers are the epitomes of propaganda, as we have seen how most movies of Vetrimaaran, Pa Ranjith, and other Tamil directors carry ill-propaganda against upper-caste folks, especially Hindus. In their many movies, while the perpetrators belong to some other religions, they have always shown Hindu guys as the wrongdoers. In popular movies like Jai Bheem, the original ‘convicted’ Sub Inspector’s name is Christopher, while it got changed to Gurumurthy in the movie, depicting Hindus in a bad light, say a few movie lovers.

At the same time, the Tamil audience is enjoying Dhurandhar big time. A social media user posted videos from Sunday evening, inside the theatres of Dhurandhar 2. The audience is going gaga over everything shown in the movie, including the ‘demonetisation’ thing, which they are hailing as a master stroke by Narendra Modi, as shown in the movie. Some analysts felt that this reception from the crowd is what worries these noted award-winning Tamil filmmakers, who are always pushing their ‘leftist’ agenda in the name of Dravidian thoughts.

Meanwhile, many Tamil audiences felt that R Madhavan, the star from Tamil, has done terrific in the role of Ajay Sanyal and they are hailing his performance, no matter what.
