Dhurandhar reviews and box office -750 crores India, 1000 crore Global - Page 122

You've definitely given some points to ponder over and those points are solid.

See , the problem is , Ranveer being totally silent has given a group of people the chance to shout that he's jealous of AK looting all the limelight from him in his own movie ( when that's not true. At the end of the day, RS is the name character of the movie . All characters just played their parts exceptionally well even small ones like Saumya Tandon and even item numbers from TV actors clicked . ) . So , little bit of engagements even if posted by his manager or group would've made a difference I feel.

Problem with RS is , he's either appearing everything everywhere all at once ( yes, I know it's a movie name ) or he's invisible. No in between.

Ok that just sounds crazy. Those who claim Ranveer may be jealous of Akshayes character or whatever haven’t truly seen the movie. Yes Akshayes character had a LOT of swag. But that swag was possible coz of all the power moves that Ranveers character was doing. I for one never thought that Ranveer was sidelined. He was THE hero through and through. I honestly don’t think he is being petty or whatever.

But yeah honestly no explanation on why the radio silence apart from how a lot of people in the elite circles have their asses on fire seeing the success and didn’t really congratulate him for it.
edited to add- you know the kind of personality he has. He doesn’t have a lot of enemies in Bollywood (or didn’t used to at least). Like he was friendly with everyone. Promoting everyone. The happy go lucky guy. Maybe when he didn’t see a lot of people he considered friends not returning the favor- maybe that changed something in him? Hence the silence? 🤷‍♀️

I know what you mean....However here's the thing....People who think he is jealous or whatever will continue to think so even if he goes around being visible everywhere....Because this section is basically badly butt hurt and need some copium to be able to sleep peacefully...These people know that he is the main lead and the movie ultimately belongs to him, hence the need for copium...lol

Right now he is letting the movie speak for itself and all the supporting cast take the limelight which they absolutely deserve...It's heartening to see how each one of them is basking in Dhurandhar's glory...hardly have we ever seen such a thing before where the supporting cast of the movie is at the forefront....

And you are saying you are not a fan, but looks like a soft corner paida ho hi gaya Ranveer ke liye aakhir...

He is vacationing with his family....

I think he was just tired of the incessant negative PR against him and how they were twisting every single thing he says or doesn't say....It's better that he does not give any new material to his haters....So sad though considering how much he loves being out there....:(

I also want him to soak in the movie's success and enjoy family time during this year end festival time but his manager or PR team could have been asked to post...I dunno...bts pics and/or short clips of him from the movie...that'd have been enough

His radio silence attracting more eyeballs in the meantime.

Atp, he doesn't need to aggressively promote the film.. that time has passed and the film is already doing so well by virtue of sheer craft and it bring a literal masterpiece of Indian cinema. Infact, aggressive promotion would be counter productive atp.

Little things like posting one two posts daily on socials or even little video clips from his side would make the viewers feel more connected to him as ML. Make them feel his excitement. I find it weird how silent he is when he's such an out there personality.

This ^^

Finally went into the theatre and watched the film and I got so much to say but also not a lot to say.

Akshaye Khanna - Damn. Just damn. The swagger, the charm, the ease with which he became Rehman Dakait. Just damn.

Arjun Rampal - He scared me at the same time as I wanted to kill him so bad. I mean he is downright cruel in this film.

Ranveer Singh - Despite his flops, one thing I've liked about some of Ranveer Singh's work is that when he gets down to it he can give a really good performance without the overacting and this is one of those places. He's in the foreground, but also in the background. He's there, but not there. Just like a spy should be. Seen, but forgotten. In the moment, but also planning ahead.

I wanted to talk about those 3 specifically, but I must say the entire cast was well-chosen and did their parts well. The movie flowed and just kept you hooked thanks to the great work by all these actors.

Of course, acting isn't enough. Good writing, proper direction, and a good flow are necessary. And Aditya Dhar and the entire crew get that down well. There are some things left for us to interpret, but by in large, Dhar gives us everything in front of us.

Special mention to the Parliament and 26/11 scenes. Those really gave goosebumps and made you feel.

I've got to say though - the blood and gore was a little too much. I didn't mind the violence. I get it. But like did you really need to show people being decapitated, their heads being blown off, their brains, etc.? I'm a true crime, crime fiction, thriller buff, but even these scenes were too much for me. I had to close my eyes at some points because of certain scenes. Even with the A-rating, it seemed a bit too much.

I'm very curious who this Bade Sahib is and how long Hamza can remain hidden. Dhar chose a perfect point to end the film. Leave the audience waiting for more!

@ Bold: This might be planned as well. The film was promoted heavily, but now, like you said, the film is doing the promotion itself. WOM and trending videos are at such a high that no one needs to say anything.

And honestly, we've seen how saying something can be misconstrued and actually turn around and bite you. Like Stree 2. That movie was doing well and Shraddha was walking away with the praise so what did the males do? They went on a spree talking about how they were the leads and credit can't be given to one person. Look at what that did. It gave Shraddha more audience support to the point that she basically said no to Stree 3 and now Maddock films is scrambling.

Right now, with Dhurandhar, Akshaye Khanna is in the news. He's getting the biggest praises, going viral, etc. If Ranveer says anything, then it could be seen as petty and like he's trying to take away from his seniors. So he's silent, along with the rest of the cast. When Madhavan was asked about the praise Akshaye is getting, even he responded to that so tastefully and carefully.

He shouldn't be fully silent though. At least, if nothing else, like some praising posts, maybe post something about BO numbers, praise his fellow cast members, but maybe he's just enjoying time off and the sudden popularity spike.

As for Anupama = no comment from my side as I don't follow anything she does/did/uttered since quite a lot of years... when I got to know her personally, she became someone of 'no further interest' to me...

please explain this further
