From "Accidental Prime Minister" and "Uri: The Surgical Strike" to the yet to be released "Thackeray" and a biopic on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bollywood is attempting to cash in on an election year. We debate with actor Sukhmani Sadana of Sacred Games fame, political observer Zainab Sikander, filmmaker Faizan Kareem, and film critic Murtaza Ali Khan whether the films so far have been good cinema or outright propaganda. This is a Youthquake special.
