Why boycott any movie? If you think any movie is distorted, make your own movie.. Yes get your facts, get your money & get your actors and release it..
Then the audience will decide which movie is a bigger hit...
Never did like any of @AshGowariker's movies. He's a lame director who makes long and boring movies. A dud director. A dud movie. #boycottpanipat not for it's inaccuracies, but for its director

Motto of Bollywood is to misguide this generation about their glorious history. They are doing this before, now and will be doing the same in future as well. SHAME!! #boycottpanipat

#boycottpanipat propoganda Movie Why is Bollywood suddenly in top gear to only project history related to one social group. No Movie on Shivaji or Maharajah Ranjit Singh or Surajmal or Dhan Singh Bhati hero of Meerut revolt or Ranjit Singh of Bharatpur who defeated British Army

It makes sense that the film makers live only in the world of dreams and ideas. They have no idea of real life. Or they didn't study history honestly.#boycottpanipat

Panipat movie distorted events/historical fact about Rajasthan’s pride legendary Jat Maharaja Surajmal.We request producer/director to remove/correct it immediately. It’s shameful to assassinate character of country’s heroes. It won’t be allowed !#boycottpanipatpic.twitter.com/l3Xt1A7ng9
King Surajmal was a worthy ruler. He took pride in history by creating an independent Hindu state in Braj. #panipatmovie directed by film director #AshutoshGowariker should be banned.#PanipatReview#BoycottPanipat
