Singer Vishal Dadlani takes an indirect dig at Dhurandhar 2: ‘Watch films for fun, but get your information from better sources’

Although Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge is making box office records every day, the film is also being criticised for its pro-establishment stance and portraying demonetisation as a successful decision by the government. Now, musician-singer Vishal Dadlani seems to have taken a dig on the film.

Vishal took to Instagram on Saturday to post two stories taking a swipe on the film’s demonetisation angle. The second half of the Ranveer Singh-starrer reimagines Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation move as “Operation Green Leaf”, positioned as a strike to choke terror funding networks allegedly linked to Pakistan.

In one story, Vishal posted a statement which stated, “The high percentage of cash return led to widespread analysis that the move failed to permanently eliminate a large portion of ‘black money’ from the economy, as intended.”

Sharing the story, Vishal wrote, “In light of the new BS doing the rounds, it's important to remember that...A film is just entertainment. Facts are facts no matter what.”

Vishal posted another story highlighting a statement which claimed, “Terror attacks and violence in India continued after the 2016 demonetisation, with major incidents like the 2019 Pulwama attack and ongoing border disturbances. While aimed at curbing terror funding, analysis indicates aggregate terror incidents remained unchanged, showing varied impacts: capital-intensive attacks fell in the Northeast while Left-Wing Extremism areas showed no disruption.”

Along with the screenshot of the statement, Vishal wrote, “Watch films for fun, but get your information from better sources.”

Vishal did not directly name the film in his Instagram Stories. He, however, used Satinder Sartaaj’s track ‘Jaiye Sajana’ from Dhurandhar 2, giving a clear hint.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge also stars Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun.
