There is in-your-face propaganda movies. And then, there are films such as this.
Ostensibly inspired by Hanuman, this is a poorly made & at times, incredibly disparaging tale of revenge, against class enemies, which shape shifts to include favorite Western themes of Indian democracy being in peril and of the Indian minorities being subjugated all across the land.
There are two telling signs of this disrespect. There is a sex worker named Sita. Out of nowhere, there are montages of placards showing save Indian minorities. I couldn't understand the reason behind the first and the logic behind the second, in context of this.
As far as the story goes, you would have seen dozens, if not hundreds, of such films. Police raid a village, kill people, the young eye witness grows up and decides to take revenge.
Laughable to see it's critical reception and easier to understand why it bombed at the box office and how it has come on VOD within 3 weeks of its premiere.
