"Wikipedia pages for Dhurandhar' and 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' locked; editors debate "propaganda film" label". The Hindu. 25 March 2026. Retrieved 25 March 2026. The ability to edit the Wikipedia pages for the 2026 Indian spy-thriller films 'Dhurandhar' and the sequel 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' has been restricted to vetted users, as both editors and members of the general public debate whether the sequel can be called a "propaganda film".

The Wikipedia pages of Dhurandhar and its sequel Dhurandhar: The Revenge have been placed under editing restrictions following an intense debate among contributors over how the films should be described—particularly the use of the term "propaganda".

Under the section - Factual accuracy and political messaging, please add this as para three. Sources are included under References. Suggested wording with citations:

In separate review essays published in Himal Southasian, writer Raza Rumi and film critic Anna M. M. Vetticad critiqued the Dhurandhar franchise as emblematic of a broader trend in Bollywood toward Hindu nationalist narratives, militarism, and Islamophobic representation. Rumi argued that the blockbuster film serves as a prime example of these shifts. ^[1] Similarly, Vetticad noted that Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge function as vehicles for pro-government propaganda—arguing that the ideology is deployed skillfully in the first installment and blatantly in the second—by portraying Muslims through stereotypical security-state narratives and glorifying anti-Muslim violence. ^[2] GraceLR (talk) 12:44, 25 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
