Dhurandhar

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.

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.

This is how I want to see a spy/espionage movie in Indian cinema. Excellent world and character building, with outstanding set pieces. Every single actor played their roles to perfection! Askhay Khanna stands out the most. However, as others mentioned, the role of Ranveer was not to stand out in the first place, and the director and actor executed that perfectly!

If Uri: The Surgical Strike was the roar, Dhurandhar is the bite. Aditya Dhar has returned with a spy thriller that does not just rely on loud patriotism but backs it up with grit, intelligence, and a scale that Indian cinema rarely attempts. Clocking in at over three hours, it is a marathon of a film, but one that leaves you breathless rather than exhausted.

This is the Ranveer Singh we have been waiting for. As the covert operative Hamza Ali Mazari, Singh strips away his usual high-energy flamboyance to deliver a performance of simmering intensity. He is quiet, lethal, and emotionally vulnerable. Whether he is navigating the treacherous lanes of Karachi or breaking down in a rare moment of solitude, he anchors the film with a maturity that defines the second act of his career.

While Ranveer is the soul, Akshaye Khanna is the electrifying current running through the narrative. As the antagonist Rehman Dakait, Khanna is terrifyingly calm and intellectual, proving once again why he is one of the most underutilized actors in the industry. The face-off scenes between Singh and Khanna are masterclasses in tension, relying on psychological warfare rather than just explosions.

What stands out most is the technical brilliance. The film respects the intelligence of the audience, weaving a complex web of espionage involving historical stakes without feeling like a history lesson. The hand-to-hand combat is visceral and realistic, avoiding the gravity-defying stunts often seen in the genre. Shashwat Sachdev's background score is a character in itself - pounding and relentless during the action, yet haunting during the emotional beats.

Is it long? Yes. But the runtime is justified by the depth of the world-building. Dhurandhar is a mass entertainer with class sensibilities - a rare beast that satisfies the action junkies and the cinephiles alike. It is a high-octane saga that cements Aditya Dhar as a master of the war-spy genre. A must-watch for anyone who loves grounded, intense cinema.
