You know what's weird? The official Twitter account of a political party sharing a movie trailer. I don't think that has been done ever before, but BJP is here to break all the rules, apparently. The trailer of 'The Accidental Prime Minister' dropped yesterday and has obviously gotten a lot of shares online but the most important, talked about share came from BJP.
Along with the trailer, the tweet also said -
Riveting tale of how a family held the country to ransom for 10 long years. Was Dr Singh just a regent who was holding on to the PM's chair till the time heir was ready? Watch the official trailer of #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister, based on an insider's account, releasing on 11 Jan! pic.twitter.com/ToliKa8xaH
— BJP (@BJP4India) December 27, 2018Obviously, this particular tweet got a lot of attention for all the wrong reasons. Some people questioned how a ruling party can openly endorse a movie about the opposition while some questioned the credibility of the 'insider account' since the endorsement by BJP made things confusing.
I had some expectations... but with BJP making this such obvious political movie and @AnupamPKher seems to be over acting, will have to miss it.. book was good though. Wasted an awesome subject https://t.co/3p76EoMVKI
— Santosh Thourani (@smalltownsanta) December 28, 2018Can they? I'm still not sure.
Never knew a political party can campaign for a commercial film ... Desperate! https://t.co/JWQhlvetsl
— Rathish M Saravanan (@dearrathish) December 28, 2018Hmm.
Looking forward to the trailer reviews of all the upcoming movies because that's what an elected government is for. Popcorn time in Indiað¿ https://t.co/E5AfKzsXtH
— Sachin Xalxo (@sachinxtweets) December 28, 2018Yep.
Am flabbergasted, why is @BJP4India promoting @INCIndia in such a mega way! After all, any publicity is good publicity https://t.co/iKNYsiAAKm
— SuranjanaRB (@SuranjanaRb) December 28, 2018We can just hope.
Is it the first time that a national party of BJP's scale is promoting a movie trailer? Is this movie an instrument to humiliate one of the most learned PM's the country ever had... hopefully not. https://t.co/rjNjEHCoPk
— Raktimâï¸ (@1cosmicguru) December 28, 2018Don't know.
It just a movie based on a book. Why this desperation? https://t.co/d3WhSBOKRR
— Abhishek Parashar (@abhishekiimc) December 28, 2018Oh no.
A political party promoting a movie. The erosion of @AnupamPKher's goodwill is finally complete. https://t.co/heACvvyhqe
— shubhankar.c (@monkeypreneur) December 28, 2018Okay then.
Bjp promoting this.. wow.. @AnupamPKher it shows clear political intention and you liked this tweet also.. sirji I am a big fan of yours but this is not acceptable and also trailer shows it clearly undermines Dr Singh. https://t.co/0I25gqN3By
— Just kunal (@motakunal) December 28, 2018Apparently.
Movie's official sponsor is BJP?
— Jet Lee(Vasooli Bhai) (@Vishj05) December 27, 2018Exactly.
Bhai tum kyu promote kar rahe ho. Aur bhi issues hai highlight karne ko
— Gabbbar (@GabbbarSingh) December 27, 2018Wow.
Now, propaganda reached Bollywood. ð
