Dhurandhar reviews and box office - Page 90

Just came back after watching dhurandhar…to say it was mind blowing would be an understatement…take a bow aditya dhar…not just for the magnificent work done but also for your courage n conviction…best is he us teaching some losers in bollywood how to make spy movies grounded in reality…not that any if the “facts” shown was news…most of it is in public domain …and for folks like us who watched the kandahar hijack in real time as it was unfolding and being shaken by the brutal beheading of the new groom in front of his new bride on their honeymoon…i remember the feel…the goosebumps we felt…the pain we felt for the passengers…one teaching bollywood esp the loser chopras n khans how to make spy movies

Just watched the movie

amazing starcast---RS is versatile actor--his eyes speak a lot

You know movie is solid when it collects better one week later from what it collected on the first day/weekend. That's purely because of WOM doing its magic.

My little contri on day 8.

It is absolute cinema 🙌🏻

Just watched, absoulte brilliant movie..Aditya Dhar is the hero, the way he conducted the movie and showed all events that novices like me who are not as familiar with Indian politics and events , also were able to follow and stayed glued is a marvelous feat.

Ranveer, Ranveer , Ranveer its his show all the way. He is probably in 99% of the frames. Not sure how or where he could be overshadowed. He showed all the emotions, the range of him as an actor is so wide, its so so soo good to see him in such an intense role.

Akshay khanna was the true gangster and played his character so well. Loved loved seeing him on screen. He brought out the same freshness and novelty to the movie that Bobby brought to Animal. They both played the gangster characters uniquely and added their style.

Arjun Rampal was also inpressive. I think he will be bigger and better villian in part 2.

Madhvan was as always brilliant.

Sara looked beautiful and played her part well. Thankfully no weird uncomfortable scenes between her and Ranveer.

Music was absolutely amazing, loved the title track.
Only thing i didnt like was the violence, it was so not needed in some parts. But i guess its needed for some sectors of the audience.

Not sure movie had any propaganda, it looked like matrer of fact movie. So not sure what Hrithik was smoking, unless he had an issue with calling pakistan a terriorist country.

anyways rating 4/5, def a good watch if you can handle the violence.

There’s so many thoughts about this movie in my head right now that I find it hard to compile them all in a coherent manner because what exactly is it that I can add that hasn’t been said before already about the cast, the direction, the flawless execution of such a layered story.

The one thing that has been on my mind since I have stepped out of the theatre is the gorgeous chemistry between Ranveer and Sara. Yes, I know there’s a lot of debate about the age gap between the two; there are plenty of people who have issues with this pair and those who are defending the casting by whataboutery and comparisons, besides trusting the director and the casting director for their decision but I don’t want to get into either side of the argument.

I simply want to state how electrifying the chemistry between the two was based on their looks alone. My favourite moment is when Gehra Hua is playing and we see Yalina arriving at Rehman’s home for an Eid celebration with her parents; this verse starts

Tu chaand hai ek dhadakta hua

Chori se mujhko hi takta hua

Seene se lag ke chamakta hua

Meri jannat ka rasta, tu hi tu hua

These two look at each other, they’re amidst company; she’s eating as a guest, he’s at the door as a guard but for the briefest of moments their eyes meet and it’s electric. You can feel the attraction, the spark between them without a single word, a single touch between them with just a stolen glance and smiles exchanged between the two.

It’s strange that these days we have kissing scenes and more in movies that are so normalised compared to the way the same were a scandal when Murder was released probably 2 decades ago; and yet the chemistry between actors is sorely lacking even though we see them almost eat each other’s faces off in an attempt to look like they can’t get enough of each other.

Here Aditya doesn’t have any such scenes between them but he has managed to show such raw and electrifying chemistry.

Ranveer Singh is absolutely brilliant in this and I think he’s never looked sexier than he has here; man can carry off that hair like nobody else because my god

The intensity showcased through his eyes alone is so magnetic, be it when he’s with Yalina where his eyes look like he’s staring at the most beautiful and important girl in the world to him or in moments of sheer horror as he witnesses the 26/11 carnage or a fellow spy being tortured brutally that showcase his true feelings while he must not give himself away no matter what. I don’t think I’ve seen a more restrained and yet thoroughly expressive performance by an actor ever. Ranveer as Hamza has truly set the bar so high for all the future movies that deal with spies. Any actor who takes on a similar role in a future movie would have to truly be good at their job to even merit a discussion let alone get compared.

Can’t wait to see part 2 already!

i had the same question. What geopolitics was hrithik roshan talking about? That movie should not say pakistan orchestrated the terror attacks on india? Do these folks read? Some other intellectusl actors are still processing what to write without offending the mafia lords…such a shame…dekhi toh ab tak sabne hai yeh movie
