Before Dhurandhar’s ‘Naya Bharat’, Rohit Shetty’s Zameen planted the seed of an India that fights back | Opinion-entertainment News

4 min readNew DelhiMar 14, 2026 01:58 PM IST Long before the cop universe of Rohit Shetty turned testosterone-driven nationalism into blockbuster entertainment, the idea had already appeared — quietly and imperfectly — in his debut film Zameen. Watching the film in 2026 feels less like revisiting a forgotten action thriller and more like discovering the rough first draft of the “Naya Bharat” that later became big with the likes of Dhurandhar. It was purely a coincidence that I chose to watch Zameen on Rohit Shetty’s 52nd birthday. The intention was simple: to understand whether the filmmaker who would later build one of Hindi cinema’s most commercially successful cop universes had hinted at that vision in his very first film. What I discovered was surprising. Beneath the film’s rough filmmaking lies an imagination of an India that fights back — the same idea that the upcoming film Dhurandhar now appears ready to revisit when its sequel releases on March 19. Both films draw from the same painful chapters in India’s history — the Indian Airlines …

Jaya Bachchan On Kunal Kamra Row

New Delhi: In the ongoing row over stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra’s recent remarks, several political figures, including Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan and Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs have come forward to defend Mr Kamra’s freedom of expression and criticise the actions of those who vandalised the Mumbai venue where his show was filmed. Ms Bachchan questioned the limits placed on freedom of expression in the country. “If there is a restriction on speaking, what will become of you? You are anyway in a bad situation. There are restrictions on you. You would be told to speak just on this and nothing else, that do not interview Jaya Bachchan,” Ms Bachchan told reporters outside parliament. “Where is freedom of speech? There is freedom of action only when there is a ruckus – beat up the opposition, rape women, murder them. What else? You [Eknath Shinde] left your real party and formed another party for power. Isn’t that an insult of Balasaheb?” the actor-turned-politician said. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant came out in defence of Mr …
