Pulsating or propaganda?

But amid the success and commercial validation, Wikipedia has described the film as a propaganda. And this is how netizens are reacting to the description that has surfaced on the internet:

One wrote- “I had a mini stroke reading that word on the wikipedia. Told myself to not worry , they’ll call it total propoganda anyway.”

A second said, “Wikipedia allows everyone to change content.. I meant I removed the propaganda word when some idiot put that in.”

A third commented- “I tried changing it and it’s locked now. I don’t know exactly how this thing works but yeah, not allowing me to add comments too in the discussion thread in Wiki. Wtf is wrong with these people.”

Firstpost review of Dhurandhar

R. Madhavan nails the role of a strategic mastermind as Ajay Sanyal, with Arjun Rampal as an ISI Major. Dhurandhar 2 has a revenge-driven plot, and hence it is called Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. And mind you, the gun giggles are louder, and the plot is way darker. It does get gory many a time, but for a reason, and it is definitely not mindless violence or action.
