Fair enough. But hear me out—I’m just presenting my perspective on the broader pattern I’ve noticed. Yea, I know what you are thinking, "This woman is still not on the point"...SO YEA coming precisely there, I feel like its not obviously wrong to make film showcasing true events which involve different communities (religious or anything) but I kin...
