Ratings & Reviews

  • These animals represent the true personifications of such elements who form the so- called \"Society\". Honestly, they stoop to levels unimaginable. The issues such as Hijab Ban, which actually needed to be dealt with sensitivity & compassion, was actually applauded by those who call themselves \"leaders of the people\", who are nothing but hooligans. And this is the Acche Din that they were emphasizing on. Where is Secularism lost? Even the most beautiful, one of the seven wonders of the world, the Symbol of Love, our very own Taj Mahal is being ruthlessly ransacked in a bid to search for the specific belonging of a religion. It\'s a pity, that these religious fanatics are not into upliftment of a country. Rather they are into upliftment of their religion & divisive politics.
