Discussion on Film and Propaganda

Have you guys seen Dhruvandar?

Yes, almost everyone has. Yes, it's fine, right?

I've seen it.

I had seen it too. They showed so many lies in that picture, bro.

Honestly, at first I didn't realize it. I

had seen it

thinking that if there are four or five actors, it must be good

picture. And

I liked it. Then one day, I have a friend named Nadeem,

and he sent me a video

by Dhruv Rathee.

And he called me and said, "Hey, watch the video I sent you.

It's just a propaganda film. Nothing true is shown in it." I said, "Nothing true

is shown in it?" So, bro, I watched that German citizen's

video.

He himself is lying in it.

He says it shows a massacre in the snow, in the snow. Bro, in the entire picture, there's not a single scene

of fighting in the snow.

He only puts snow in a glass.

There's no snow anywhere else. And he calls me and says, "You don't have any

It cuts it out, you blind devotees.”

I said, “Brother, what was there to cut out?

We actually liked the picture.” “And this is about cutting it out?” “Then listen, brother

Nadeem.”

Look, ours wasn’t cut in childhood, so how will it get cut now?”

No, this happens with some children sometimes. Look, that bird—there it is, there it is, there it is.

Oh, it flew away, it flew away. Look down, it’s clear.

Hey.

Brother, you don’t understand. Look, there’s a two-year-old child

A tiny one. He has a 150,000-rupee mobile in his hand, an expensive mobile. The display alone costs thirty to thirty-five thousand

Now, if you have to take it from his hands, what can you do so he doesn’t drop it?

That’s when the bird comes in handy.

Yes, you had gone somewhere else entirely.

But I still felt bad, man, that I couldn’t catch that lie. So I watched the picture again.

Look at how much of a lie Aditya Dhar has shown in it, brother.

They showed a club in Pakistan, can you believe it, for dancing.

In Pakistan, there, a guard stops Ranveer Singh

and says, “Only couples are allowed inside.” A couple,

in Pakistan, huh? Have you ever seen one walking together?

The guy walks around carrying a tent with him.

A walking, talking tent.

Brother, look, in India, at least, women wear burqas,

and the burqas are very large,

fancy burqas. But in Pakistan, she goes completely inside it.

She goes completely inside it.

I was looking online, on Google. They call the Pakistani burqa a

shuttlecock.

A shuttlecock.

Yes, now look, in a country where girls and women wear this type of burqa,

they had the girls from that country wear tiny clothes

and dance in a club there.

And at that time, too. Did you see the heroine’s clothes?

Huh? Her legs were completely on display, brother. And on top of that,

the upper part was exposed too.

The director just doesn’t understand this, Pakistanis—

I'm not used to watching everything live. What do you think, is that guard standing there to stop Ranveer Singh?

Wouldn't he be stopped himself?

His mind would lose its balance. He'd say, "Where am I?\

I haven't reached heaven, have I? Look, houris are dancing. When did I die?

When did you die?"

Seeing the heroine, he would start to doubt. "Such a tiny houri, Maulana Sahib said they were

132 feet tall."

He'd go up to her and ask, "Will your height increase after inserting the key

in?"

And then I

watched another video by KRK—Kamaal R. Khan.

Mine.

You've heard of him, right? He said that Karachi is like our Mumbai.

Of

All this dancing, clubs, alcohol, and so on goes on there,

so I thought there was some truth in what he said, because Pakistan has some very important people

who come back from doing very important work abroad, exhausted

and worn out—Bin Laden, Masood Azhar, and so on.

You do need some room for entertainment, right? They made arrangements for that. But then

they still exaggerated it way too much. Look at how they made the roads look. Did you see

what he did?

He showed an under-underpass.

An underpass in Pakistan?

Come on, brother, they build such huge caves for hiding,

in case there’s an attack from above, in case a Rafale shows up. Pakistanis are especially

terrified of Rafales.

And did you see the bike?

You must have seen on YouTube what kind of bikes Pakistanis keep,

right?

Yes, I know. Pakistanis dream of getting a bike like that.

They

say, "Dad, when I grow up, I’ll get a bike like that."

And before they grow up,

the poor things become martyrs. Some by their own choice, others by someone else’s.

Good men come to their schools,

and fire bullets in every direction, saying, "Go ride bikes in heaven, children."

Ride bikes in heaven.

Then people donate to us, good people. I had heard

bro, I don't know if it's true or false. Shah Rukh Khan had given several

crore rupees, saying, "Come on,"

"It's okay, send more children now,"

"There's no problem."

Look, there are wealthy Muslims in our country, that's the thing. And we've all built it together,

Hindus and Muslims alike. If there's talent in our country, a person will move forward

whatever their religion. Right? If he's a singer, he'll become Mohammed Rafi.

If he's a scientist, he'll become A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

and later even become President. The revolutionary Ashfaqulla Khan.

Look, brother, they live in our hearts, that's the thing.

Not like Pakistan. When they realize a person bowls well,

they say, "No, he's not important to us at all.

Tell us his name first, his name." He says, "Dinesh." He says, "No,

then you won't be able to bowl well. Danish— name him Danish."

Then you’ll bowl to him. You know, his name was Dinesh Kariya.

Earlier, he turned it into Danish Kariya. That’s why you saw how far ahead they’ve gotten.

In that famine.

Because of these antics. You know, when they talk about bikes there, among themselves, the bike guys

fight and make fun of one another. One says, “You’ll buy a bike? Huh?”

What will you do with it?

Expand your father’s business? Huh, you’ll supply hand grenades through it.

“”

When Ranveer Singh was given a bike, he got so happy, didn’t he?

He was pretending to be happy for the act. Yes, inside, he became very emotional.

Because he remembered his milkman brother in India.

His milkman used to bring the milk on a bike with two cans hanging from it,

like this.

But one truth Aditya Dhar didn’t show was that Pakistan’s Muslims

had a direct line to them, you know, up in the Jannat department.

On the Muslims who are there,

There was direct conversation in the Jannat department.

He missed showing that. Because you must have heard that it just happened recently too.

People praying at a mosque were blown up with a bomb—

Muslims bombing Muslims. You know, they get a message a day in advance

saying

that fifteen people are needed, the workload is very heavy.

So they say, “Sir, why just fifteen? We'll send thirty. What are you talking about?”

Are you?"

They send them. But it's so huge, brother, that before sending them, they properly pray

“O Allah, grant them the service of the finest houris in Paradise

and present them with the best of them.”

Boom!
