The creators of the film publish what they really think. But they are not ready to understand and accept the truth. The conspiracy has been going on for the last 5-6 days to discredit and campaign for the film.
The issue is not the film, but the need to bring out the truth for the national interest. Those who disagree with this film are opposed on the basis of their sentiment. Some critics are upset that the deliberately hidden truth is now coming out. ”
BJP-ruled states including Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Goa and Madhya Pradesh have declared no entertainment tax on the film.
