Don't understand why there's a backlash to the film #Dhurandar? Yes there are quite some violent scenes and bloodshed but the actors have done a good job. #dhurandarreview

I am no fan of film stars. I fail to understand how an actor can be blamed for stampede? Did the actor instigate people? If he is that popular that his presence is a cause of stampede would his arrest not trigger more protests and chaos? What nonsense!! #AlluArjunArrested
