Is there anything like too much of Modi? Not really! Not now at least. The mood is buoyant. Mr Modi has won a humongous mandate and emerged victorious in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Who would have thought that Omung Kumar’s film would actually get the perfect release date. Just as Modi readies himself for a second term, his biopic is sure to bring out his cheering squad to the theatres.
The thing about biopics in India is that they are almost bhajans. Modi is revered, put on a pedestal, eulogised.
He is a figure who can do no wrong, forget that – he can’t commit a mistake even in his sleep! It is a hagiographic portrayal sans nuance or balance. This one is by a Modi Bhakt, for Modi Bhakts; there are no two ways about it.
The full podcast has the whole, scathing review! Listen in.
