Dharma Production of Karan Johar recently produced Gunjan Saxeena: The Kargil Girl which was helmed by Sharan Sharma and Jhanvi Kapoor played the main lead. The movie was released 3 days before independence, i.e. 12th August on the OTT platform Netflix. The film is based on first woman pilot of Indian Air Force, Gunjan Saxena, who was part of the 1999 Kargil conflict. Well, the bold and beautiful Kangana Ranaut has taken a dig at filmmaker Karan Johar in a “shayrana” (poetic) way. The actress’ Twitter team attacked them through a poem this time. The tweet read:
“Karan Johar ke liye shayari arz hai…Humein nationalism ki dukaan chalani hai par deshbhakti nahi dikhani hai. Pakistan se war wali filmein bahut paise kamati hain, Hum bhi banaenge lekin uska villain bhi Hindustani hai. Ab third gender bhi aa gaya army mein lekin Karan Johar tu kab samjhega ek senani sirf senani hai. (A poem for Karan Johar…we want to jump aboard the nationalism bandwagon but won’t show patriotism. Films based on war with Pakistan earn money so we will make such films but the villains in these will still be Indian. Now the third gender has also entered the army, when will you understand, Karan Johar, that a soldier is simply a soldier?),”
Before this also, her Twitter team had slammed the Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl. The tweets read: “All n all GS remains a petty film missing the larger picture and essence of a soldier’s life, proving her opponents right who said we are here to protect Bharat Mata but you are here for equal opportunity, that’s pretty much sums up the film in the end Gunjan wins not India.SAD,”
“Also what is with reluctant desh bhakti, many times Gunjan says in the film ‘I don’t love my nation I just want to fly the plane’ there was no arc to show she fell in love with the country n how she understood the real meaning of uniform!! All she says, ‘papa won’t let you down’.”
Besides Kangana, there are many other netizens who attacked the film. There was a hashtag trending on Twitter on Thursday that claimed Karan has insulted the Indian Air Force.
What’s your take on this?
