In recent years, Indian cinema has witnessed a troubling trend – the rise of communal and propaganda-driven films that deliberately distort history. These movies are not just entertainment; they are designed to provoke anger, spread misinformation, and polarize society along religious lines.
 
In this episode, Nivedita explores how such riot-triggering films have become a tool for political and social manipulation. From altering historical facts to presenting one community as eternal villains, these movies often serve a dangerous agenda. Instead of celebrating India’s diverse cultural heritage, they exploit old wounds and push divisive narratives in the name of patriotism or religion.
 
The story also highlights how these films are marketed with sensational trailers, catchy slogans, and massive social media campaigns that ensure they spark outrage even before release. The controversies surrounding them are not accidental – they are carefully crafted to grab attention, fuel debates, and create “us vs. them” narratives.
