Filmmaker Shazia Iqbal recently found herself in the centre of controversy after she shared her review for Aditya Dhar’s blockbuster film Dhurandhar. After the Ranveer Singh-starrer released on Netflix, the Dhadak 2 director reviewed the film, calling it ‘sinister’ on her Instagram stories, although she did not name it directly. However, the internet was quick to join the dots and criticised her for her stance.

Shazia Iqbal makes Instagram account private following backlash

Shazia Iqbal took to Instagram stories to criticise Dhurandhar without naming the film. She wrote, “What a sinister film! It’s not hidden, it’s not unintentional — inciting hate and violence is in the DNA of the film,” before adding, “But it’s a ‘well-made’ film, guys… with some cool BGM. Well done, industry dude bros. Glad that most of y’all don’t care about minorities enough to even hide your blatant apathy.”
