Film critic Anupama Chopra lauded Gen Z after Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as the Union Education Minister. "Six months ago, I got death threats because I didn't like a film. The viciousness scared me," she wrote, seemingly referring to 'Dhurandhar'. "Thank you, Gen Z, for your courage...You've given us...hope...to hold on to our voices," she added. Chopra had called 'Dhurandhar' "anti-Pakistan".
