Dhurandhar

First of all I would like to salute the direction and storytelling of this movie. This type of story telling has not been seen before in bollywood. The music mashup, bgm and intro of every character was top notch. First half had all the cuisines for perfect build up for all the characters and story. In Second half all that build up explodes and gives great fight sequence, music, and goosebumps moment. After interval the story just flows and you won't feel like it's been 3:30 hours.

Final conclusion: Just don't miss this masterpiece if you are cinema lover, you can't afford to miss this type of storytelling.

Since the beginning Movie pace and Story hook you that much, you'll forget about popcorn on your lap.

The film follows Hamza (Ranveer Singh), a young recruit thrust into a daring covert operation to infiltrate the ruthless underworld of Karachi. While the long runtime was a talking point ahead of the release, every minute is justified by Dhar's ambitious world-building. What begins as a strategic slow-burn expertly maps out the dangerous nexus of crime, politics, and terror, making the adrenaline-pumping payoff in the second half all the more rewarding.

Ranveer Singh delivers arguably the best performance of his career. As the feral, calculating undercover agent, he embodies raw intensity, using his eyes and body language to convey a character caught between a desperate mission and the corrosive environment he must survive in. He is the anchor, but the undisputed scene-stealer is Akshaye Khanna, who plays the gangster Rehman Dakait with a chilling blend of vulnerability and menace. The chemistry and friction between these two actors are the electric core of the film.

Technically, Dhurandhar sets a new benchmark for the genre. The action is brutal, immediate, and free of unnecessary fluff. Vikash Nowlakha's cinematography plunges the viewer directly into the gritty, dusty alleys of Lyari, while the background score by Shashwat Sachdev is a constant, pulsating heartbeat, ensuring the tension never dips.

This is a film that rewards patience with spectacle. Dhurandhar is a polished, high-voltage blockbuster that proves that when ambition meets execution, the results are explosive.

Conclusion: A must-watch theatrical experience that redefines the Indian spy thriller genre.

The world of Dhurandhar is as mesmerizing as it is dangerous, with every corner of Karachi rendered in cinematic precision. Ranveer Singh delivers a layered performance that anchors the audience amid escalating threats and moral dilemmas. Director Dhar crafts sequences where strategic planning meets brutal action, keeping viewers perpetually on edge. The supporting cast contributes significantly, fleshing out a realistic criminal ecosystem. Cinematography and editing combine to maintain tension, while the score punctuates key moments. The narrative's blend of action, politics, and human drama makes the film a truly immersive experience.

Intelligent writing, peak performances, gritty and realistic action. After such a long time, mainstream bollywood finally has a movie which is truly cinema.

It's no simple task to construct a nearly 4 hour long movie without losing your audience, yet dhurandhar manages to do exactly that. In fact, the runtime serves as a strength, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in such a dense, complicated, and dark world.

I say this will change indian cinema because the film is just so thoughtfully built and so different at the same time. It feels like an experimental take on commercial cinema. There's so much aura farming, but dhar's clever script adds a classy weight to them that just isn't present in other bwood flicks.

There are some truly disturbing scenes here, in particular the scene for the 26/11 attack. The shock, the disgust, the sadness. I don't think a film has made me feel so angry in such a long time. Another scene involving arjun rampal's character is straight out of a horror movie. The 18 rating is definitely justified.

Don't miss this masterpiece.
