Smriti Irani’s previous post praising Dhurandhar

A few days ago, Smriti Irani shared a detailed post praising Dhurandhar, highlighting the film's exceptional storytelling and outstanding performances from its actors. She had posted on Instagram, "If you have looked into the eyes of the wife of a fallen soldier & walked her to the cremation ground , if you have visited the Jagti camp in Jammu , if you have seen the deserted temple premises of Sharika Devi in Srinagar , if you have met those who were on duty during Parliament attack or have family that survived the 26/11 Mumbai attack then nothing in Dhurandhar should lead you to outrage — after all it’s just a film . As a storyteller @adityadharfilms is a craftsperson par excellence , as a research fiend even more so (sic)."

Further praising the actors, Smriti wrote, "It’s the quivering face as he pulls the cover off a dead son that makes #akshayekhanna’s performance a lesson in craft & @ranveersingh ‘s piercing eyes that speak when he doesn’t is a must watch for those who aspire to be consistent in their pursuit of a legacy , that @rampal72 can be so menacing is a revelation … & the music OMG. Those like me who have had the privilege of being in the vicinity of a legend called Ajit Doval may find it a tad bit weird to watch @actormaddy presumably play a cinematic version of him but then there could have been no better actor who could so calmly hold a storm within (sic)."

Akshaye Khanna gains popularity through his performance

Akshaye Khanna's performance in Dhurandhar has become the talk of the town, with many praising his portrayal of Rehman Dakait. His viral dance clip has also garnered immense attention.
