đŸ€” MediaFx POV (People’s Lens)

From the perspective of the working class and dharma, the film’s core message—redistributing wealth and fighting Mughal greed—resonates with us. đŸ’Ș But why spend â‚č250 cr of public-backed resources on flashy VFX when basic storytelling and emotional connection fail? 🎭

Our folks deserve a hero who fights for equality—not one who glitters but forgets soul. We need films that uplift real labor, real struggle, not hiding weak scripts behind big budgets. 🎓 Let cinema serve us, not just entertain us.
