- Its supporters call the film, which has been backed by PM Narendra Modi and his ruling party, a masterful, true-to-life depiction of a historic tragedy
- But for its opponents, it’s crude, inflammatory propaganda that’s intended to incite anti-Muslim hatred and weaponise the BJP’s Hindu-nationalist agenda
