Disaster Film Screening at Rashtrapati Bhawan: New Low?

Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s romantic comedy Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri was reportedly scheduled for a screening at the Rashtrapati Bhawan on December 28, 2025, according to Bollywood Hungama. The news quickly drew attention online and sparked widespread discussion.

Several Bollywood portals shared the update, but there was no official confirmation from the President’s office or any government communication channels. No press releases or updates appeared on official websites, raising questions about the screening’s authenticity.

Reports from Bollywood Hungama, Koimoi, and IWMBuzz claimed that two special shows were planned for dignitaries at the presidential residence. Three additional screenings were also said to be scheduled at the Films Division Auditorium.

Soon after these reports surfaced, social media reactions turned sharply critical. Many users felt that hosting a film screening at the Rashtrapati Bhawan lowered the dignity of the President’s office and turned it into a platform for celebrity promotions.

Several users argued that the focus should remain on pressing national issues rather than promoting a film that failed to impress regular cinema audiences. One comment described the move as cheap mediocrity populism unfit for the country’s highest office.

On the other hand, some entertainment portals and film journalists defended the screening. They described the film as having a socially conscious core and called the opportunity prestigious for the makers and cast.

Despite pop culture playing a role in shaping public discourse, the alleged government endorsement of a film without a clear social impact triggered backlash. With no official record of the event available, doubts continue to surround the credibility of the reported screening.
