We are still not out of colonial mindset.

 

Though there were many explanations given by the jury, it was a particular comment by one member of the Federation of India which social media's attention. He said the film projects hatred toward the British.

Too long, could have edited out some of the brutal scenes, well acted and shot very well. Don’t know why it was considered bad for Oscars. Still better than the tripe we send. Read the article , so it a bhadralok gyaani - Indraadip Dasgupta that said it projects hatred towards British.

Which narrow minded idiot thinks this way by mixing film & reality and then holds such a position of power ?

Further confirms Kangana's point. We didn't become independent in 1947.

 

Further confirms my point, we are not independent yet.

A historical film has every right to show things as they stood, and there is little doubt that Udham would have harboured a lot of hatred toward them for understandable reasons.

Watched it yesterday- movie is blunt and shows Jallianwala massacre in great detail

 

However it is still less blunt than what actually happened
