A Decade Later, Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan Reveals the Future We Refused to See — And Failed to Avoid
When Bajrangi Bhaijaan released in 2015, it was seen as a heartwarming, feel-good film with a political undercurrent. Ten years later, it reads like a cultural prophecy — one that gently warned us of the growing divide, distrust, and dehumanization we chose not to confront.
More Than a Movie: A Mirror to Our Decline
At its core, Bajrangi Bhaijaan was not just about a lost girl named Munni or a man named Pavan trying to return her home. It was about borders built in the mind, and how faith, politics, and nationalism can eclipse basic humanity.
In 2025, those metaphoric borders seem stronger than ever — with increased polarization, mistrust between communities, and a global refugee crisis that reflects the helplessness Munni symbolized.
Pavan Kumar Chaturvedi: The Human India We’re Losing
Salman Khan’s portrayal of Pavan was of a man deeply religious, yet bound by compassion, not dogma. He broke laws, crossed lines, and risked his life — not for glory, but to do what was simply morally correct.
Today, voices like Pavan’s feel rare. Empathy is politicized. Religious identity is used to divide rather than unite. Bajrangi’s path of love and risk feels radical — and distant — in today’s climate.
Why Bajrangi Bhaijaan Still Matters — More Than Ever
It showed a deeply flawed but hopeful India
It dared to humanize the “enemy” across the border
It reminded us that children are never political
It warned us that walls — physical and ideological — destroy more than they protect
The film's most powerful message?
"Trust, not suspicion, should be our first instinct."
In 2025, that message feels more urgent than ever.
