Modi uses punch line from latest film
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,January 19 2019]
Narendra Modi has on Saturday used the popular punch line How's the josh? from the Hindi-language movie 'Uri' during his speech at the inauguration of National Museum of Indian Cinema in Mumbai. After the Prime Minister said the words, he smiled.
In his speech, Modi indirectly hailed films such as 'Toilet Ek Prem Katha' and 'Sui Dhaga' as ones providing solutions. Cinema and society are a reflection of each other. We have watched movies on India's poverty and helplessness, but now we have films where if there is a problem, there is a solution too, Modi said.
As for 'Uri', it's based on the 2016 surgical strikes against Pakistan by the Indian Army. Although the Bollywood film has been dubbed as a propaganda movie by some commentators, many neutral observers have said that it doesn't promote any political party.
