Imtiaz Ali’s film about Partition, Main Vaapas Aaunga, is on a roll owing to the word-of-mouth effect, as well as the critical acclaim it has received. The film, which won people’s hearts because of its emotionally stirring content, has become a topic of discussion across various platforms. Music director AR Rahman responds sarcastically to a post labeling his movie anti-national.
The caption under the post stated, “Anti-National? Movie dares to depict Pakistan without terrorists and spies?” The post was shared on Instagram along with laughing emoji by Rahman.
The caption on the satire post was, “The guy who couldn’t wait to see a spy from India take his revenge on Pakistan, and who said, ‘Mein Vaapas Aaunga,’ at the end of the movie was sad because the movie didn’t feature any terrorists and spies. Despite being deeply moved by the dramatic scenes, he found himself questioning how is it possible for Pakistan to not be full of terrorists and spies when it is always filled with them in other movies. In his interviews, he even mentioned that it was new to him and that it gave him a whole new outlook on the fact that there are actually humans in Pakistan.”
