Aanand L Rai’s Atrangi Re, starring Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush released digitally on Christmas Eve, Friday, December 24. While the film did get the biggest opening day on Disney+ Hotstar, it is now receiving severe backlash on social media.
Many netizens have taken to Twitter and bashed the film – mainly because of its ‘Hinduphobia plot.’ From calling a ban on the film to questioning why Bollywood films have such content, read on to know what some Twitterati have to say about it.
Bashing Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush’s Atrangi Re with the hashtag #BoycottAtrangiRe, one user wrote, “Bollywood walo ko hindu easy traget lagate h or hum bhi kuch nhi khete” Another tweeted, “Why in #bollywood an well respected suryavanshi family girl have to fall for a puncturewala/street magician Sajjad and not the other way around ? Shitty #hinduphobia plot.”
A third netizen bashing Atrangi Re commented, “Hinduon ke desh me hindu devi devataon ka apmaan bilkul bardaasht nahi kiya jayega.” While a fifth added, “We should not allow anyone to play with our Nationalist Sentiments and Religious Sentiments. Let’s show these bust@@rds the power of Common Man.”

Bashing Atrangi Re even further, another Twitterati wrote, “They want to market the movie in Pakistan and they know that Hinduphobic content wont stop Hindus from watching it…so keep the cake and eat it too wala funda hai unka.. we need to start boycotting, only then they will come back on track.” Another wrote, “’Atrangi Re’ has a scene which mocks Shiv ji & Hanuman ji. What is Bollywood’s problem with Hinduism exactly? Why the compulsive need to insert something Hinduphobic into every movie? This industry needs to be boycotted permanently out of business.”
