So after crossing many hurdles, 2019 opened with the much-anticipated movies ‘Uri’ and ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’. Both films were remarkably different from their contemporaries in terms of boldly portraying nationalistic content and raising fingers at some of the powerful politicians, who indulged in corrupt practices during the UPA tenure.
According to the public reactions, both movies have struck a chord with the masses, and are on their way to emerge as potential box office successes. They’ve not only received favorable reviews but also liked by most of the Bollywood actors as well. How can we forget the enthusiasm of the Bollywood actors as they joyously responded to the famous dialogue of Vicky Kaushal from Uri ‘How’s the Josh? HIGH SIR!’
However, not all shared the enthusiasm of the masses in the same way. The vicious left liberals, who won’t waste a moment in bashing any movie that is even remotely pro India, went hammers and tongs after this film. From the usual suspects, to even people like Omar Abdullah, Nidhi Razdan etc., they not only criticized The Accidental Prime Minister but also went on full racist mode, abusing these films and mocking the crew to their heart’s content.
We are no strangers to how much the left liberals hated The Accidental Prime Minister. However, Shobhaa De took the hatred to a new low with the following tweet:-
Akshaye Khanna , is the 'accidental' hero of #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister
Relax, @RahulGandhi . Young voters are ignorant and clueless about that era. They prefer movies like Simmba. You are safe!— Shobhaa De (@DeShobhaa) January 10, 2019
The left-liberal critics soon joined her in bashing The Accidental Prime Minister. Be it NDTV, or The Indian Express, or even The Wire, none spared the movie in their vicious contempt for anything pro India or even pro BJP. Following are some of the reviews written by the left-liberal websites against this movie:-
No wonder one wise person rightly said, the only veil that resists to be lifted is the veil of hypocrisy. Interestingly, these very reviewers had no qualms in campaigning for Padmaavat, or writing favorable reviews about pathetic movies like ‘Mukkabaaz’, ‘Mulk’, ‘Manmarziyaan’ ‘ Veere Di Wedding’ etc., while they would mock any movie that doesn’t kowtow to their agenda.
What’s even more surprising, that the left liberal intellectuals and politicians joined this sick cringefest in a bid to please their masters from 10 Janpath. Just because Sonia Gandhi and her UPA cronies were portrayed without any glorification in the Vijay Ratnakar Gutte’s movie, some of our enlightened intellectuals had to say this about the movie:-

The accidental PM, the puported biopic of Manmohan Singh is an unabashed attempt of political propaganda against Sonia/Rahul & the Congress, reducing Manmohan Singh to a pathetic caricature. Expect a propaganda hagiography from the biopic of Modi https://t.co/47NzVc5jTV

Curiously, one film critic Rohit Jaiswal has also reported that ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’ shows were cut short midway, replaced unceremoniously by shows of ‘Simmba in most of the Kolkata theatres. So much for freedom of speech and expression in Bengal.
#TheAccidentalPrimeMinister is being Removed from many theatres here in KOLKATA, no idea what's happening, Running Shows Stopped, tickts returned….
Shows Replaced by #Simmba
SAD… this is really Sad…— Rohit Jaiswal (@rohitjswl01) January 11, 2019

Surprisingly, these were the same ‘liberals’ who capitalized on movies like ‘Padmaavat’ and ‘Udta Punjab’ in order to peddle their vicious propaganda against the NDA coalition governing the states of Punjab, Rajasthan, MP etc., and they even succeeded.
However, they’re abusing a movie like ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’, because not only had this movie kept nothing secret, they also trolled Congress badly for their unforgivable sins, especially in a scene where they showed how Congress mocked PV Narasimha Rao and insulted his last rites. Talk of political discourse getting any lower than this, just because our left liberals have one enemy in common : PM Modi.
Even Uri wasn’t spared from this vicious propaganda. While others just gave unfavorable reviews liked NDTV, The Indian Express etc., Film Companion and the notorious portal ‘The Wire’ took their BJP bashing to an abysmal low. Notice these reviews, as shown below:-
While the Film Companion abused Uri for its nationalist tone, Sucharita Tyagi brutally mocked this movie in her nonsensical rant of a video, calling the scene where the young girl cries the battle cry of her slain father as ‘manipulative’.
Yes, let that sink in. The immense courage that the girl displayed, despite having lost her father to the murderous bullets of the Islamic terrorists, is a manipulative scene for her. Hatred for PM Modi is understandable, but hatred for anything patriotic like this? No wonder why the dislikes for this review are now increasing by leaps and bounds.
However, if this wasn’t enough for you, then look at this. The Wire, already under fire for bashing the movie trailer, has the audacity to post this:-
Yes, the emotion of revenge and the desire to give the terror mongers a fitting reply is ‘BLOOD LUST’ for this Tanul Thakur. Following are some other specimens of his insightful words in this movie:-
However, despite all this drama, we know one thing for sure : Uri and The Accidental Prime Minister have struck a chord with the masses. Should they become box office successes, a major credit goes to these left liberals, who in their bid to corner the nationalist narrative, have actually helped it in turning out as a resounding success. I hope these hysterical intellectuals have prepared themselves for the future, because there are more tales like ‘Rocketry’, ‘Batla House’, ‘The Tashkent Files’ to burn them inside out.
