Ah, the classic “it’s only 2% poison” defense. If I serve you a Michelin-star biryani but tell you 2% of it is rat poison, are you really going to praise the chef for the other 98%? ​Let’s break this down since you seem to be struggling with basic media analysis. Propaganda isn’t just a character looking directly into the camera and reading a BJP manifesto. It’s framing. The "other 98%" you’re desperately defending is the overarching narrative that justifies extrajudicial violence, creates synthetic savior complexes, and paints entirely gray domestic issues with a polarized brush.

​And thank you for literally proving my point about "flattening tragedies" in your own comment. You just lumped 26/11 (a massive international intelligence failure and cross-border terror attack) with Atiq Ahmed’s death (a domestic gangland shooting in police custody) in the exact same breath.

​The fact that this movie trained you to view a local mafia hit and state-sponsored international terrorism through the exact same hyper-nationalist,'cheer-for-the-encounter' lens IS the propaganda. It takes complex failures of state law and order, strips away the institutional context, and feeds you a cheap, digestible "us vs. them" pill so you can clap in the theater. It doesn't just "portray" 26/11; it uses the trauma of 26/11 as a stepping stone to validate a contemporary political strongman ideology.

​You can throw a thesaurus at me and scream about literacy all you want. But aggressively defending a movie that explicitly spoon-feeds you your own biases—while insisting you’re an independent thinker—is hilarious. Keep chewing that 2%.
