Pathaan Fans Criticises The Re- Release

Propaganda files not work” while another said, “#TheKashmirFiles is being used as a tool to dent #Pathan .. nafrat ki aandhi chal rahi hai apni bhi patang udalo, aur yeh tou opportunist hai .. #PathanDekhegaHindustan.” While the story of the Kashmir Pandits’ migration from the Valley requires to be told, filmmakers must possess a certain degree of ethical obligation in retelling such historical traumas to avoid the phenomenon of enhanced victimisation and villainization- The Cognate,” said the same user in the consecutive tweet
Another user wrote, “Jhoome jo Pathaan Along with ‘Gandhi Godse’, One can feel for Pathaan.” A netizen even called him a propaganda filmmaker
