Front camera, midnight timing: How the making of Modi's ‘GenZ-style’ video became the story

in5points

  1. PM Modi posted a video at 11:52 pm on July 23, 2026, using a phone's front camera at arm's length, without a podium or studio backdrop.

  2. The video promised stricter laws and fast-track courts to curb examination paper leaks, amid ongoing protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP).

  3. Online discussion focused on the video's selfie-style format, with users calling it 'peak detailing' and questioning if it was meant to impress Gen Z.

  4. Satirist Akash Banerjee (The DeshBhakt) suggested PM Modi should accept his cameraperson's resignation rather than Dharmendra Pradhan's.

  5. Some users compared the camera angle to a scene from the 2011 film 'Delhi Belly'.
