The truth is indeed more nuanced, but what the documentary does effectively is wake up a large number of people to the dangers of social media addiction, something we can't expect Facebook to do itself.
Editor's Note: If it works, this will be a truly Indian win-win. Street vendors get access to customers and required modernization (food safety standards), while customers get access to their favourite pre-pandemic panipuriwallas.
