Our review of the film read: “In Vivek Agnihotri’s cinematic world (it should be called The Files Universe), a country with currently mere 24 Muslim MLAs in the Lok Sabha, apparently has a ‘system’ in place that favours them. In this world, a Muslim is either a fanatic, an opportunistic politician, or a helpless girl willing to marrying at a young age because how else can you survive the religion’s patriarchy? The director paints everything and everybody in broad brushstrokes, presenting only the facts that further a particular agenda. But then, maybe facts are not facts.”
