In a candid conversation with NDTV, Dhurandhar researcher Aditya Raj Kaul addresses the controversy surrounding the film's Part 2, particularly allegations of a "communal tone."
Responding to criticism over a provocative dialogue in the trailer, Kaul insists the film reflects "reality, not propaganda", drawing from his experience covering conflict in Kashmir and the history of targeted violence.
He also highlights how audiences across communities - including in the Kashmir Valley - are engaging with the film, pushing back against claims that it targets any one group.
