Why do writers tend to erase Bengalis from Partition stories? We are here. Listen to us. Remember our ancestors, too.

What do you think?

The film was more Raazi than Animal in humanizing the enemy. But, by the end, Dhurandhar works against itself by using hamfisted dialogue (including its final line). It expects its female characters to be mostly silent and ask no questions. These choices didn’t work for me.

The irony is that Dhurandhar has many of the elements that once made Bollywood work: a soundtrack longer than two songs, multiple meaty characters, and cinematic vision. That’s perhaps why so many screenings are consistently sold out.

But what has rankled critics are dialogue like, “This is a new India. It will enter your home and kill you, too.” As they say, the best stories show, don’t tell. Once you have to articulate something so literally, you might have already lost.

That scene sets the stage for why India needs spies to infiltrate Pakistan, taking us on a years-long journey through the rival gangs of Karachi, much of it based on real-life people, such as Rehman Dakait.

The film opens on December 30, 1999, depicting its version of the real-life hijacking of an Indian plane forced to land in Kandahar, Afghanistan by a Pakistan-based terror group.

The film opens with a few lines from the Bhagavad Gita: “Rise, Arjuna, prepare yourself for battle.” The battle the film centers? India’s ongoing fight against terrorists.

The 3.5-hour-long film is now in critics’ jail, many of whom believe it’s propaganda, while others have some complicated feelings because, well, it’s slickly produced with some great acting and a killer soundtrack. This tweet sums up these sentiments: https://t.co/2JhNoBpbXq

You probably already know the premise of Dhurandhar before you settle into your seat: an Indian spy (Ranveer Singh) with killer instincts who will fight, lie, and bleed to win.

Is Dhurandhar art, propaganda, or something else altogether?

I’m just sitting through the entire credits to listen to the entire soundtrack again

Whatever you think of Dhurandhar, the soundtrack is a banger. The resurrection of so many old hits should be studied. Never expected to hear “na to caravan ki talaash hai” — a deep cut for those who know

Fun fact: stars Stuy alum Tim Robbins!

Incredible writing. Have faced bullying like this as well. Thanks for speaking up @yasmin_khan. Maybe one day I’ll be able to share my story too
