Netflix faces backlash for 'Ghooskhor Pandat,' with users calling the title casteist and offensive to Pandit and Brahmin communities.

Netflix faces backlash over the title of Manoj Bajpayee’s 2026 film *Ghooskhor Pandat*, with social media users accusing it of being casteist and offensive to the Pandit and Brahmin communities. The controversy, sparked by a teaser released February 3, centers on the term "Pandat," which critics say unfairly targets a specific group and implies corruption. Users have demanded a title change and threatened boycotts, though Netflix and the filmmakers have not responded. The film, directed by Ritesh Shah and written by Neeraj Pandey, follows a morally conflicted police officer, but the backlash has focused solely on the title’s perceived insensitivity.
