Their praise comes at a time when the film continues to dominate conversations among audiences, even as industry reactions remain limited. Known for their selective public endorsements, Virat and Anushka’s appreciation adds significant weight to the growing acclaim around the film.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar features Ranveer Singh in a career defining role, supported by a strong ensemble cast. The film stands out for its scale, emotional depth and detailed storytelling, with its extended runtime becoming one of its most talked about aspects. With both parts achieving commercial success and critical recognition, Dhurandhar has cemented its place as one of the most ambitious and impactful releases in recent Bollywood history.

Ranveer & Aditya are yet to react to the same.
