Sanjay Gupta Responds to Criticism Over ‘Propaganda’ Comment on Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar'

Sanjay Gupta is addressing the online criticism he received after posting about the movie *Dhurandhar*. The filmmaker's initial tweet, where he mentioned he wasn't interested in “all the propaganda bulls**t,” sparked controversy among social media users.

On Saturday, Gupta had praised Aditya Dhar’s *Dhurandhar*, which stars Ranveer Singh alongside Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, and Sanjay Dutt. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “I finally watched #DHURANDHAR and thoroughly enjoyed it. For me it was a ONE MAN SHOW all the way and that man is @AdityaDharFilms. I'm not interested in all the propaganda bulls**t. I had super fun watching it in IMAX especially the music. WELL DONE & CONGRATULATIONS to the entire team.”

The reference to “propaganda” in his otherwise positive review led to a wave of critical comments. Gupta later posted a follow-up tweet to clarify his statement and ask people to stop sending abusive messages.

“I can't believe the whole lot of id**ts abusing me for this tweet about #Dhurandhar … What I mean is that I don't think there is any propaganda in the film. Get a life guys,” he wrote.

*Dhurandhar*, directed by Aditya Dhar, centers on Hamza, an Indian spy who infiltrates a Pakistani gang led by Rehman Dakait. The film draws inspiration from real events, including the 2001 Parliament attack and the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
