Thank you for posting that. I learned a lot!

Like many (most?) Westerners, I obviously appreciated the anti-colonialism aspect, but had no idea about all of that other context.

I am deeply appreciative.

I’m Indian and I didn’t see those either.

There’s no scenario in which slate/vox would have written a ideologically uncoated positive review of this movie.

I’m Indian and I saw it when I watched the movie. Your comments show you have a right wing attitude to these things and I doubt you’d have therefore picked up on it since it affirms a particular world view.

If you didn't realise Ramcharan taking up a bow was an homage to Alluri Sitaramaraju, maybe you don't know what you're talking about?

Where did I say I didn’t know that? You’re putting words in my mouth.

Because you posted a link to an article that claimed otherwise and commended a comment that got it wrong.

I feel like you two are both on the same side?

No, we're not. I believe the movie is just ridiculous in a very fun way. The other side claims that in addition to that it has subtle propaganda that promotes a Hindu nationalist agenda.
