It was a really fun and great movie. It seemed like there was nationalist tones I didn't get and some anti Muslim beats, but I have zero historical understanding.

I don't remember the anti-muslim beats (definitely some hindu nationalism) but I remember seeing an article saying members of the indian government had threatened the director because they had Bheem wearing islamic headdress. The movie is mainly criticized from what I've seen for having a major plot point being giving guns to the oppressed people and how it's worrying at a time when far-right groups are arming themselves in india . . . But what else do they expect the characters to do in this movie? Beat the british with love and friendship? I mean fuck at one point they almost don't get the guns. I think in the ending song (the most nationalist part) they show a bunch of influential hindu figures who are from both extremes of the political spectrum that its really quite astonishing that all they care about is the fact they were hindu.
