The trailer of the Bollywood movie ‘Mission Majnu’ featuring Sidharth Malhotra as an undercover agent was released on Netflix and it triggered a meme fest on Pakistan’s Twitter.
The trailer of Mission Majnu exhibited the traditional Bollywood obsession with Pakistan and the depiction of Muslims in skull caps and dotted scarfs with Adaab gestures.
Jo khud se pehle desh ke baare mein soche, wahi hain #DeshKeLiyeMajnu
Aisa hi ek Majnu hai Amandeep Singh jisne India ke sabse khatarnak mission ke liye apni jaan ki baazi laga di
Watch Mission Majnu, a spy thriller inspired by true events.

According to Bollywood, all muslim men roam around like this! Surma, gamcha, taweez aur topi are our national assets! And also, anyone who is dressed like this is always an atangwadi! Siddharth Malhotra is now officially the brand embarrassment of propaganda movies#MissionMajnu pic.twitter.com/r8svO2ixfF

It’s 2023 and Bollywood is still making films where Pakistani characters greet each other saying Adaab.

If Bollywood’s obsession with Pakistan was not so embarrassing, it would be tragic that they have nothing left to offer the world of film other than these hysterical/paranoid fantasies https://t.co/OKLFTGe8a5
