Lone Wolf Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 TKF had some actual plot & some depth & realism. Despite being poorly made it connected with audience. Haven't watched this Kerala story but looks like they haven't done the homework. Just cashing on the left liberal publicity... Almost like how Pathan gathered momentum after Boycott gang hyped it to the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravishingravi Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Movie is certainly creating ripples. The ban works for the film. Sometimes when you don't have alternative narratives, the loudest and most daring one stands to gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Wolf Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Wish people supported the movie Anek with similar response. Both left liberals & RW failed to hype that awesome concept. That movie was thought provoking & had superb reviews. But Bollywood was busy getting boycotted back then. Good content gets ignored & we are left with this.

TKF had much better reviews & a great cast to carry the movie. Also the makers are going back & forth with the numbers. 32000 recruitment in ISIS as claimed in the movie has been debunked which in reality is believed to be less than 100. So I don't see the point they are trying to make.. At least TKF exposed that Locals were involved with ISI & terrorist org for what happened in Kashmir. This is a poorly researched thing looks like. Just cashing it on emotions & Kerala being a ISIS hotspot in India few years ago. Indian government would be sending troops to Iraq & Syria if those numbers were true lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the number for one second, what about the story is not well researched according to you? The main characters are based on real women that were entrapped and smuggled abroad to become slaves. What about that is poorly researched? The story synopsis seems to be along the lines of what some women have stepped forward and claimed after the movie was released as seen in the video below https://twitter.com/SortedEagle/status/1654573988516073473?s=20 Speech by a former Communist Kerala CM on the topic. https://organiser.org/2023/04/29/171642/bharat/kerala-when-communist-leader-and-former-cm-achuthanandan-raised-the-issue-of-love-jihad-in-the-state/ Why bury your head in the sand?

Joining ISIS has nothing to with love Jihad... Love Jihad has been prevalent in other parts of India & BJP ruled states too. Numbers always matter. Are they trying to show Indian society is so poor or weak or the Indian government is that dumb that will sleep while 32000 of its citizens are recruited by a foreign global terrorist organization? Blatant disregard for India's rule based order. We are Nigeria or Somalia where there is jungle rule... Sorry but I don't buy this bullsh*t. Those who have watched the movie said while they removed the numbers on the posters... No such stuff was done in the movie and the numbers were said again. They want to show India is one of the top contributors for ISIS a global terrorist order. I got a massive problem with this narrative sorry... Chinese government crushed the narrative that Xinjiang people were getting recruited in ISiS... Which they were though. East Turkestan movement was aided by ISIS. Here we are justifying this lol.. This not nationalism by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This not nationalism by any means. The movie has nothing to do with nationalism. It shows a serious issue with women getting recruited through Love Jihad. Anyways, I find it strange that you have such a strong opinion on a movie that you have not watched.

To each their own Well people are suddenly comparing it with TKF on Social media. And makers & actors seem to be pushing for it too. I will watch the movie to form a conclusion but the stuff has irked me like LSC did. Movie can easily fall into Propaganda category even if it not wishes to & intention behind it is good. Moreover Love Jihad is more about awareness. Hiding identity & forced conversions are a issue indeed. People mix it with Inter religious marriage which is more of a choice. BJP Muslim leaders like Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Shahnawaz Hussain have Hindu wives with Muslim surnames but you can't call it love Jihad... While Swara Bhasker marrying a Muslim dude out of choice called Love Jihad. The definition is blurred & hence the confusion among masses. RW needs to be held accountable for double standards sometime too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised why needle is parked at accuracy of number, love jihad is reality and few people from kerala joined isis is also reality even if numbers are wrong the story itself is not hypothetical but its a reality.
