00:00demonetization was not one of the successful steps in india people are sitting just to get offended
00:06how can you say this dude all of us were standing in those lines
00:28hi guys good morning hi abina hello hello hello how was your how was your weekend
00:38all good making was good yeah pretty relaxing fine okay um abina let's uh cut to the chase let's see
00:49what we're doing for this week uh tell me what you're doing for this week especially in terms of
00:54like sports and like you know the other thing uh i have some ideas about uh like we can do
01:01in a sports
01:02that covers soccer uh football actually and uh just now we have finished this final match uh that is
01:09being covered today and along with that we can take some in IPL and uh some in entertainment as well
01:16and uh viral news are always there and talking about viral i am getting fed up of these dhurandar
01:24memes these days that we are facing like it's right there on your face you just switch on your
01:29uh instagram and everything everything is all about dhurandar and up to a certain point like it's
01:36getting like quite yeah cliche these days but if you see they have connected cricket also to dhurandar
01:43that rohi sharma jersey 45 is going viral yeah you know yeah so they have somehow connected dhurandar with
01:52all aspects of life yeah but the thing is uh people are calling it propaganda i'm not quite sure why
02:00why is everyone calling it a propaganda like it's right there on the internet all the data and
02:06everything is there on the internet and everything is like uh correctly put in the movie and what they
02:13have done is quite a brilliant job i guess uh agreed when you talk about uh why is it being
02:20called
02:21propaganda and also when you say that uh it's a fine art when it comes to movie agreed uh when
02:27you
02:27say that it's a fine movie uh if we go by how actors have performed what was the storyline and
02:33everything dialogues of course it was one of the finest movies we've seen in the longest time
02:38but if you look at it of course it's a bit propaganda driven because um how the idea or the
02:45actions of
02:46this current government has been uh propagated through this movie be it demonetization
02:55no no no no no no no no no no no how prime minister if you look at there are
03:00a few instances in the movie
03:03for example when prime minister had sworn in for the first time so they have this cliche dialogue
03:10saying of chai wala again all of that uh bad lega and all of this why is it being called
03:18propaganda
03:19is just for one reason because it's putting a party putting a party on pedestal it should have
03:27been plain and simple about what i think i also like for us as viewers who have invested
03:33four hours of our time uh i agree with you that it was an interesting movie
03:41like no i'm not saying it was boring i'm not saying i'm just contradicting your point wherein
03:46you have said that okay memes are there it's violent everything but why are people calling it propaganda
03:52it is pretty much propaganda it's there on the face of it that um how do you call a fact
03:58propaganda
03:59like it was there in the news whatever that happened in the new demonetization it was right
04:06there in the news on 8th of november and out right after that things started to happening
04:12like after that 26 days after that news that guy who was involved in traps uh this uh money land
04:20money issues those that guy did a suicide or it was never clear to the media that was it a
04:29suicide or
04:30somebody killed that guy and uh it happened right after that news and people are strictly calling
04:36this a propaganda because that clip was shown in the video when when no aminam you're not getting it
04:42all that i'm saying is that it's a movie it's a nice movie but if you have given uh if
04:52you've
04:52positioned it's uh some content of it but only uh on the basis of what a certain party has done
05:00if
05:01if you see uh demonetization or ram janma bhoomi or atik ahmad all that has been done in uh in
05:09the
05:09this government's time since 2014 that content has been that content has been used has been put on
05:20uh pedestal and has been at the consumption of uh the viewers like we have the population for if you
05:28look at the population of india they're consuming it in a way uh they're okay if you look at just
05:34the
05:35no no no if you just look at the lines and the dialogues also how they're saying how they're
05:41saying it is it is in a way propaganda if you go through the exact meaning of propaganda this is
05:48propaganda if you are showing one thing okay just show it but then followed by it you have certain
05:54dialogues from the villains of the movie wherein only one example i'll use it uh once after the
06:02prime minister had taken over how the uh how the character uh playing dowd ibrahim and the other
06:09people how they were the dialogues so you the movie has tried to brainwash people into thinking
06:17something demonetization was not a very successful step by the government if you're talking about if
06:25you're talking about stats i would request you to go through stats demonetization was not one of the
06:31successful steps by the moody government they claim that it was to stop the fake currency
06:37to remove black money from the system no no no no if you whatever if you go through the statements
06:43of
06:44the bjp leaders back then multiple statements have come out and i can i can put a bet on this
06:51with you
06:51that multiple uh multiple reasons were given by the bjp leadership and multiple time that okay this is
06:58why demonetization had happened and if you really want to go through that in the beginning of the
07:03movie that this movie is if you really want to go through stats you should go through the stats of
07:09rbi how counterfeit uh notes uh the numbers have increased significantly post 2018 uh to my bad
07:182016 after the demonetization you must go if you want to talk about facts you must go through these
07:24so demonetization was not a very successful step whatever the background of it is
07:30wait hang on hang on okay so uh since we're talking about oh my god the one thing that fell
07:39in the four and a half hours or whatever of the movie almost four hours of the movie the one
07:46thing
07:46that fell longer in the most boring part was actually the disclaimer itself i think the disclaimer
07:52was around more than 20 minutes long and it was so i'm i'm for all the things and you know
08:00like
08:01facts or you know fiction that was stated later in the movie i think that disclaimer was extremely
08:07important for aditya dhar to protect the entire setup itself right that was the most boring part of
08:16the entire movie because if you're taking a video if you're making a movie out of it you have to
08:24make
08:24sure that nobody gets offended and everything is right there on the table like whatever no the world
08:30doesn't work in a way where you know if you create one thing people are there'll be 10 people who
08:36will
08:39who will get offended so knowing the fact that you know some of the things that is in india people
08:47are sitting
08:48just to get offended right just like swami is sitting over here
08:52i take offense okay this is very personal okay i can also say the same thing you you are on
09:01the edge
09:01right now and you have taken offense because i've contradicted your points with facts so you are
09:07sitting on edge and waiting for i am i am telling you go through the facts if you have uh
09:15made the
09:16mistake of saying that okay it's the completely fact based movie then please do yourself a favor
09:23and go through the facts demonetization was not a very successful uh success uh successful step taken
09:31by the modi government and you someone as as locals or as normal people as us we should be open
09:39if we
09:40are supporting the idea of a certain party we should also be in a position to question when we think
09:45that they're going wrong and demonetization was one such uh move by the modi government how can
09:52you say this dude all of us were standing for such long hours in those lines in the banks it
09:57was
09:57such a chaos why did they not show this side of the demonetization yes
10:14so i understand that demonetization was you know like a little weird for everybody but
10:19see the success rate again is dependable because there are 50 percent of the people who are telling
10:26that it is a success and then there is 50 percent of the people who are telling that it was
10:30not a
10:30success but the fact that 60 000 crores were ready to enter india through exactly this was true okay
10:40i'm not relying i'm saying it was good the movie was good but when it comes uh to the point
10:46wherein
10:47people are questioning that is it a propaganda movie my inclination is a little bit towards that
10:53that it has tried to uh polish a certain party's uh agenda or stand i think almost all movies which
11:04are stating anything related to you know the indian uh politics is always either or they're always
11:12either people are polarized always will be because if god is the poster boy of i think at this point
11:21we
11:21should declare him as the poster boy of anti-government he has made all these movies on everything that has
11:27been done by the modi government of course but he has he has got that opportunity to present whatever
11:34that he has faced in his real life if you go through whatever that he has gone through no kashmiri
11:40pandit exodus i am not denying that if movies are made on that i will never deny that okay what
11:46kashmiri
11:47pandits had gone through and all of that but i am saying if a movie is made my simple point
11:53is if
11:53you're making a movie if just if you're complimenting if you give if you're presenting a
12:00step which has been taken by a government on such a uh big platform wherein billions of people are
12:07going to consume it you should show both sides of it you're just showing the good side of what you
12:12want
12:12people to feed in themselves uh what how you want to think uh how you want them to think about
12:18it
12:19that's all that i'm saying that's how it makes it a propaganda movie what in the movie they have shown
12:25exactly the reason behind it they could not like any government cannot say what is the actual
12:30their their 60 000 crore uh money was coming to india which were fake uh government cannot often say that
12:39so what they have to go like they have to choose a safer but they can up front show it
12:45in the movie
12:45that people were using against him it was not like whoever in the movie has used that slang those either
12:57are the pakistani or the supporters of the opposition so it is right there uh like the reason is well
13:04mentioned there but it's all there on the internet like the moment you open your instagram every news
13:11that whatever that you're looking for about durandar is in the face of it even today people are people
13:17are even telling that netflix is available even in pakistan that's how they how that's how pakistanis
13:23watched durandar part one but now it isn't your hot star it's going to release on your hot star and
13:27they don't have access to geo so they will not be able to see the second part of the movie
13:32if you
13:33guys have seen there was one of the journalists watched uh pirated version of durandar 2 and uh he
13:41posted something about it on uh online and then he received a lot of backlash from uh pakistani audience
13:50there so they are consuming no doubt uh even though it's the pirated version but they are yeah yeah
13:58let's give a moment for janvier singh's acting oh my god i think he did a tremendous job and i
14:07have
14:07never like you know compared to all i mean he's always doing a very good performance but i think this
14:14particular movie actually put him if there had to be a movie which put him on the map i think
14:20this
14:20would be the one people are talking about the brutality that the movie has shown but i think
14:27that's that's the whole reality i mean if somebody kills a person it will be shown in that way itself
14:35so and in my case like in waranasi uh people were muting few words abusive words and everything but i
14:42think no that was universal no that was the muting of few words was universal it was everywhere like
14:49i saw the preview of the movie on 18th so it's already an adult movie why are people uh like
14:55muting those words there are already so many contradicting things in the movie that is shown
15:02there are already many controversies that have developed over time i don't think they wanted another
15:07one where if you look at movies like gangs of vasipur it had almost this similar kind of violence
15:25a the abusive languages were there those were not muted i've i haven't seen gangs of vasipur inside a
15:32theater and it's not just that you know i was absolutely not expecting see people claim you
15:39know on the internet people claim that dawud has more you know like money than compared to many nations
15:47right and to see that you know this could be like you know the end that he is facing
15:53is really like crazy but the movie says that he is still alive so that is the question
16:02also no no one of i've heard i saw this video i'm forgetting the name of this expert
16:08so uh there's this who asks who asks whether uh dowd is still alive or not to which the expert
16:19responds
16:19the day people of uh dhongri i think uh shut everything and moan something is the day when
16:28you'll know that uh dowd ibrahim has died until then uh nobody can say that uh he's uh dead or
16:35anything
16:36so and i think there are theories and people have gone on record people who have during his time in
16:44india who have who who have for for that matter few journalists as well that said that on record
16:51that he is alive it's just that he's not in that good of a condition he used to be in
16:57can we just talk
16:58about the resemblance of this character i don't know whether it was ai whether it was prosthetic or
17:03whatever it was but the resemblance was on that guy from up uh that uh agent from
17:11also but i was shocked that looking uh at this character who's playing navas sharif it was
17:21so so spot on so something could have been done around narendra modi also but they chose to go ahead
17:29with the original point you can use the real footage what's the point yeah why one should use
17:34the but it also takes a lot to like get those footages like to be shown for masses again and
17:42you
17:42know like i'm pretty sure there's some strings to do that and also the casting casting wise because
17:48that guy or even the guy who was uh involved in money trafficking that guy they all look so similar
17:56resemblance is so good so heads off to the casting yeah anyway guys i think uh we've had a longer
18:05durandar discussion than the actual meeting i will uh you know catch up with you guys tomorrow
18:11and uh let's keep updated about the video that we'll be doing uh see if you guys want to convert
18:18this
18:18into something you know which might actually go i think our discussion was so good that you know it
18:23can actually turn it over it it was good let's go ahead go ahead and uh see how we can
18:28produce this
18:28on its side okay cool i will see you guys tomorrow then bye guys have a good day bye
