Ever since the release of ‘Paatal Lok’, the show has been in news for both right and wrong reasons. While a section of people is raving its brilliant and bold content, some are criticising the show. Netizens have raised objections for allegedly using a racist slur, eating beef in front of Goddess’ photo, promoting Hinduphobia, and a lot more. Angry netizens have started trending #BanPaatalLok to put a ban on the series.
One user wrote, “Don’t play with Indians and Hindu sentiments otherwise you’ll pay for it,” while one wrote, “Almost every web series on OTT Platforms are utterly Hinduphobic and are trying hard to paint terrorists as victims”.
Check out some of the angry tweets of netizens.

Once again new web series came to portrait the wrong message through #PaatalLok telecast and it is jointly produced by Clean Slate Films & Anushka Sharma.
They should come up with an unconditional apology & also delete the scenes which hurt Hindu sentiments.#BoycottPaatalLok pic.twitter.com/zmDJigNtpa— satyavijay naik (@nsatyavijay1) May 27, 2020
*ASUR:* Reading Hindu scriptures demonize your internal being.
*Patallok: Some Upper hindu castes have been shown to oppress, kill, rape etc dalits for no fault of them.
They are setting anti hindu narrative.
We will never let them succeed!#boycottpaatallok pic.twitter.com/KhIP3eO4fe— आशिष घणघाव #मी_सावरकर? (@ashish_ghanghav) May 27, 2020
Recently, BJP MLA Nandkishor Gurjar had filed an FIR against Anushka for using his picture in the web series without his consent. The MLA wrote a letter to Prakash Javdekar, Minister of Information and Broadcasting to ban the web series.
Anushka and her team are yet to respond on the matter.
