However, the movie has faced criticism from some quarters, with many labeling it as propaganda. One individual expressed concerns, stating, "This will be nothing more than a bundle of lies! The movie will have nothing to do with the realities of #JNU, the only two purposes of this movie will be to malign the name of one of the best universities in India and to divert the attention of the people from the real issues like unemployment and poverty."

Similar sentiments were echoed by another user who remarked, "One more propaganda film to be released before the elections on #JNU, surely it’s going to show the university in a bad light."
Despite the criticism, there is anticipation surrounding the film's release on April 5th. Some social media users have hailed it as a potential hit, while others have expressed skepticism. One user joked, "Whatsapp forward is now a movie. Propaganda ki b hadd hoti hai."
How non-creative of right-wingers to always bring in a public university on spot before general elections for vilification? The threat & vulnerability tht it poses to us as students & faculties is unimaginable. It's a university for hell's sake. Bas kardo ab! #JNUon5April pic.twitter.com/16JVlIdmNe
