I heard nothing being said against
Pakistanis in that dialogue, rather, he was talking down to the factually incorrect Pakistani Brigadier "Ghulam Dastagir" (Maj Tariq Mir would have been more apt
), but than we don't know if he really was "Lahore da mashoor gunda" (Lahore's famous goon). Though, it is ironical to see these chaps complain, have they not seen the movies their army/government churns out every independence day? The movie based on the Pakistani war hero F/O Rashid Minhas is a must watch. It portrays another war hero, Bangladesh's Flt Lt. Matiur Rahman. All Bengaliness is taken out of him, and he is portrayed as a cunning Indian spy, who hijacks a top secret Pakistani army plane (in reality, a T-33 trainer) and tries to defect to India. He is brought down by Rashid Minhas, as he forces the plane to crash rather than defect. F/O Rashid Minhas without a doubt deserves credit for his bravery, but by no means is it ok to demonize another nation's war hero. The movie, Border, showed a lot of dialogues going back and fourth, but nowhere did it deride the actual events of the battle (infact, it actually uplayed the Pakistani army, showing the Indian unit get a battering with soldiers dying left and right, rather in reality, only 2 soldiers were KIA on the Indian side). So, it is ironical that they are protesting against Indian movies. But than again, maybe we can't blame them for holding Indian cinema to a different level. At the end of the day, Pakistanis too are a mass audience of Indian cinema, hence, as loyal fans they have every right to protest!
