If forwarded to the Oscars, The Kashmir Files will be “embarrassing to India”: Filmmaker

The Kashmir Files director Anurag Kashyap indicated his desire for the movie to not be chosen as India’s official entry to the Oscars this year, according to filmmaker Dylan Mohan Gray, who also called the movie “hatemongering garbage of no creative quality.” In 2020, Dylan will broadcast the Netflix documentary series Bad Boy Billionaires India.

Dylan posted in response to Vivek Agnihotri’s tweet regarding Anurag’s remark: “Actually, if “chosen” by the “neutral” board, it’s (hateful, revisionist) garbage with no creative quality and will shame India even more. Anurag Kashyap is merely attempting to protect what little goodwill the nation still has.”The hashtags “you’re welcome” and “The Kashmir Files” were used by him. Though RRR is also vile and vicious, so not much of a step up, Dylan said in another tweet.

In his initial tweet, Vivek Agnihotri claimed that a campaign against his movie had been initiated by “Bollywood’s genocide-denier lobby.” On Wednesday afternoon, he tweeted, “Important: The vile, genocide-denier lobby of Bollywood has launched their campaign against The Kashmir Files for Oscars, under the guidance of the maker of Dobaaraa (Anurag),” sharing a screenshot of a news article that quoted Anurag.

Anurag proposed RRR as India’s official Oscar entry this year and recently told Galatta Plus in an interview that if RRR is the picture chosen, “India might actually have a nomination in the final five. I have no idea which movie will be chosen. Not The Kashmir Files, I hope.

The Kashmir Files, which was directed by Vivek Agnihotri, starred Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty, and Darshan Kumar in the lead positions. The movie had a mixed reception upon release but went on to become one of the highest grossing Hindi movies of the year. The flight of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in the late 1980s is the subject of the movie. While the movie got praise for tackling a delicate subject, many people also criticised it for portraying all Muslims as aggressors.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”

In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.

What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”

This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”

Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.

Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.

When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”

“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
