The film's poster and its tagline "Can one educational university bring down the nation?" have been subject to controversy,[5][6][7][8] the SFI, the students wing of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), for instance, calling this film a "propaganda".[9]
Background edit
The university in the film is fictional but its name is similar to that of Jahangirnagar University (Bangladesh) and evokes above all JNU in Delhi, although whether the film is based on real events related to this institution (JNU 2016 sedition controversy, JNU attack) remains unclear so far.[7]
