Our prediction is correct again. Very recently we predicted that IC-814 is in grave danger because of two reasons. The first one was, of course, the lack of necessary promotions for the series. The second and more important reason was naturally the director himself.
Anubhav Sinha is a man whose ideologies don’t match with the ongoing popular discourses in India. Thus, he is usually the target of many influential thinkers and social media figures.
Now that a subject as sensitive as the IC-814 hijack was developed by Anubhav Sinha then it had to be on the radar of several people.
Anubhav Sinha recently stated that the hijackers ultimately apologized to the pilots and even hugged him.
Many users pointed out that this is an attempt to whitewash the terrorists. It is indeed true that even though they apologized for what they did, it doesn’t change the fact that they were terrorists. More importantly, they put our entire nation and hundreds of citizens in severe danger. It is tough to imagine the amount of resources and embarrassment that went into solving the situation.
To sum up, this is the beginning of a controversy that will certainly continue even after the release of the series. Let’s see how far it goes.
