People have gone ahead and delivered their own judgments on the film weeks before its release, causing the voices of sanity, such as the IANS columnist Vinod Mirani, and then model and actor Milind Soman, who has urged the trolls in an interview with IANS to first watch the film and then jump on to conclusions, to speak up.

The pathos of the scene where Mona Singh, who plays Aamir's on-screen mother cuts off his hair so that the anti-Sikh rioters do not target him, will make even the eyes of hardened trolls well up with tears. The film even harks back to L.K. Advani's Ram Rath Yatra without rushing into a political judgment. There is, in fact, a lighter moment in this scene where the Kareena Kapoor character, who turns into a Monica Bedi-type gangster's moll later, tells Aamir's Laal Singh Chaddha jokingly, "Iska naam bhi Lal hai (His name is also Lal)." They both had gone to see the Yatra come to Delhi from their alma mater, Hindu College.

And then, horror of horrors, the same soldier advises Laal Singh and his wartime comrade Bala, played by Naga Chaitanya, about how to make their 'chaddi-baniyan' company into a successful business. But then, the same Pakistani makes the point, and it should gladden any 'Desh bhakti', that he had been fed lies by his superiors about how bad the 'kaffirs' were.

There is also a cameo of Dawood Ibrahim (played by Vijay Maurya, now in the news for his Lalu Prasad Yadav-inspired on-screen character in 'Rangbaaz 3') asking for a drink from Rupa, Kareena's character, at a party thrown by her gangster lover.
