ISPR slams India's 'Bollywood-style' documentary projecting last year's 'military blunder as a successful endeavour'
The military’s media affairs wing on Tuesday slammed India’s “Bollywood-style” documentary on its ‘Operation Sindoor’, saying it had “cobbled together a propaganda video to project a military blunder as a successful endeavour”. In a statement, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said, “More than a year after Marka-i-Haq, India refuses to face the harsh reality. Instead of conceding defeat in a…
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) criticized India's recent documentary on the military operation known as 'Operation Sindoor'. They described it as "Bollywood-style" and a propaganda piece that attempts to portray a military failure as a success. The ISPR pointed out that India has been avoiding the truth by re-writing history to its advantage.
The documentary selectively edited interviews, used emotional narration and a Bollywood-style reconstruction to alter established facts. It claimed a "100 per cent mission success" despite Pakistan thwarting Indian aggression and shooting down 8 of their military aircraft. The ISPR noted that the documentary contradicted itself on the timeline of events, claiming that India provided Pakistan an "exit window".
They emphasized that this portrayal undermines the documentary's claim of clear Indian dominance. The ISPR asserted that the documentary is a "carefully constructed domestic narrative" rather than an objective military account. They concluded that no amount of cinematic reconstruction can change the actual chronology, erase aircraft losses, conceal military casualties, alter military engagements or convert a battlefield defeat into a self-proclaimed victory.
