Bollywood financed by the masters sitting in Pakistan doesn’t have caliber to make movie on historical subject. They want to implant Middle East/Arab supremacy into the minds of young audience. You can analyze the other movies made by the director of this Movie.

The distortion of historic facts, and false claims to ownership by others of the Indus Valley Civilization are a disgrace. It’s obvious that those behind the funding of the film were out to project certain false claims through blatant propaganda and lies.
For the life of me, I can’t understand why India doesn’t take ownership of it’s own history and culture more forcefully. You need to take ownership of Indic-studies, Vedanta, Yoga, Sanskrit etc, and patent the core ideas. Otherwise, outsiders will continue to financially profit from watered-down misinterpretations of them. You Indians also need to create more sophisticated visual reproductions of epics such as Mahabharata, Ramayana, etc. It seems to me that India still hasn’t understood the importance of projecting ‘soft power’.
If you don’t take ownership of your cultural, philosophical and linguistic discourse, then someone else (i.e. the Wendy Donigers and the Sheldon Pollocks of the world) will do it for you.

Sadanand Kalasabail:
Great Analysis Rajivji. Many other Hindi, Telugu & Tamil movies have noticed lot of subtle plantings done by Christians either in the form of major scenes in church or a good person wearing a cross prominently or missionaries doing lot of good work, hindu priests as greedy or the swamis as corrupt. This has been going on for the past 25 years as I can see in Hindi and 15 years ago it has started creeping into Telugu movies about the same time the evangelists have become very agressive in Andhra under YSR and they even wanted part of Tirupati for a church.

Aditya:
The problem is Indians know their History either from Westerns or their proxies (the leftist goons). Its time we open our eyes to reality and assert our identity.

Vishesh Raj Srivastava:
It is high time we Indians, us youths realise the reality about our own selves and filter out the bullshit we’ve been fed all through our lives.
