Beijing/Mumbai, December 30:
The Chinese state-backed publication Global Times on Monday criticised the upcoming Salman Khan film reportedly based on the Galwan Valley clash, alleging that the movie distorts facts and presents a biased narrative. The article claimed that the film could escalate tensions and misrepresent the events surrounding the 2020 India-China border skirmishes. While the criticism originates from a Chinese media perspective, it has drawn attention in India and among global audiences due to the film’s sensitive subject matter.
Film industry insiders and analysts noted that such comments could increase curiosity and anticipation for the movie, potentially influencing box office performance. Indian media highlighted that the film aims to portray a patriotic narrative, focusing on the courage and sacrifice of Indian soldiers, and is not intended to inflame diplomatic tensions. Fans on social media expressed a mix of reactions, with many supporting the film’s patriotic message, while analysts emphasized that cross-border commentary underscores the broader geopolitical sensitivities surrounding cinematic portrayals of real-life conflicts.
