Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer Pathaan has caused a tsunami at the box office. With domestic collection already crossing ₹127 crore, the film has become the biggest Hindi opener of all time. However, Kangana Ranaut took a dig at Pathaan’s historic box office success as she slammed the film for showing ‘enemy nation Pakistan in good light’.
Kangana, who recently returned to Twitter after her 2020 ban was lifted, said the film was ‘running successfully’ in theatres only because of ‘India’s love and inclusiveness’ towards ‘a film called Pathaan’. Kangana tweeted, “All those who are claiming Pathaan is triumph of love over hate, I agree, but whose love over whose hate? Let’s be precise, whose is buying tickets and making it a success? Yes it is India’s love and inclusiveness where 80 percent Hindus live and yet a film called Pathan, which shows our enemy nation Pakistan and ISIS in good light is running successfully. It is this spirit of India beyond hate and judgements that makes it mahan (great)…”
She further wrote, “It is the love of India that has triumphed hate and petty politics of enemies. Lekin (but) all those who are having high hopes please note… Pathaan sirf ek film ho sakti hai… goonjega toh yahan sirf Jai Shri Ram… Jai Shri Ram. I do believe Indian Muslims are patriotic and very different from Afghan Pathans … the crux is India will never be Afghanistan, we all know what is happening in Afghanistan,it’s beyond hell there, so apt name for the movie Pathan according to its storyline is the Indian Pathan. ”
