People on social media have been praising this scene for accurately presenting the state of the marginalised in India in 2022.

Just imagine the guts of the makers of Jana Gana Mana to do this. Commendable and extremely ballsy to come up with something like this in today’s India. https://t.co/qol7OF6TaC

Absolutely ballsy move from the directors of this masterpiece of a movie. Imagine exposing politics and politicians in such an open way.

This is the kind of movie India needs. Straight questions and not treating some random politician like your father. https://t.co/Qvqoi51xFe

like I said, no one apart from Prithviraj or Malayalam film industry has the courage to touch such topics. A must watch movie. https://t.co/Mbyw2RsQjy

This movie should be dubbed in many languages. https://t.co/jlOrKdPPTT

Hindi audiences may not know Prithviraj that well but he’s one of the finest actors in Malayalam cinema, a cinema that at least has a spine compared to Bollywood.

This monologue alone deserves him an award. Highly recommend checking out the movie as well, its on Netflix rn. https://t.co/d4hqN906YM
