AvritiVani | Bollywood & Op Sindoor 🇮🇳 | Why So Silent? Profiting from the Army?

In this thought-provoking episode, host and founder Aavriti Gautam delves into a pressing issue that lies at the intersection of patriotism, profit, and silence. This conversation explores how Indian cinema has long drawn inspiration from the Armed Forces — their bravery, sacrifice, and resilience. From iconic films like Haqeeqat to modern blockbusters like Uri: The Surgical Strike and *Shershaah*, Bollywood has profited immensely from the stories of our soldiers. Yet, in a time of heightened India-Pakistan tension and as Operation Sindoor unfolds, the industry’s silence is deafening. Where are the tributes, the tweets, or even the smallest gestures of gratitude for the very real heroes who inspire these cinematic giants?This episode isn’t just about recounting stories; it’s about exposing the imbalance. With billions earned from war films, how much has Bollywood truly given back to the soldier — the real hero? Aavriti raises the question loud and clear: Can some of those profits be directed toward soldier welfare, Veer Naris, or war memorials? Imagine the impact if even 1% of military film revenues supported those who serve without question, without complaint. Through powerful insights and candid commentary, this episode challenges Bollywood to transform its storytelling into something greater — a salute, a support, and a shoulder for those who stand guard for the nation.This segment of AvritiVani — part of the Happy Alien Life series — is dedicated to delving into important, pressing issues.
