I liked the exchange along with Hamza’s regret of not being able to kill him.
The job of unknown men continues in real life
I was like they should have ended Hamza/Jaskirat's life to make his story more memorable... I know some of you have said by keeping him alive and making him sacrifice his loved ones, his character will be more memorable...And you are right....Usually you come out of the movie either happy or sad but here you are haunted which is a stronger impression which will remain forever...I am simply not able to get over how he is left with a vacuum in the end after living such a larger than life plus with all his loved ones still alive...Kudos to Dhar for making Hamza/Jaskirat immortal in our memories....Peak storytelling!

I never imagined I would find Ranveer at his hottest as a spy/gangster even though I think he’s handsome. Dhar really gave him not just the best role of his career so far but also got people who made him look like a complete dish!
I wonder if they’ll collaborate again, and if they do I would absolutely love it if Dhar can give Ranveer a movie/role along the lines of old romance movies like Yash Chopra made, not the trash that’s been churned out of YRF now. Because can you imagine Ranveer doing a movie like Kabhi Kabhie, Silsila or the likes written and directed by Dhar. I think he’d make Ranveer look sexy as a professor or a scientist or literally even a typist in the 60s
Ranveer should now try something like this

This is why Dhurandhar will remain a topic of conversation for months to come. Had Dhar killed Jaskirat/Hamza we would’ve been sad, proud and grieved but ultimately we would have labelled it as an inevitable outcome of the dangerous life path he was on. He was in danger be it as Hamza as a gangster caught in gang wars or the cops killing him. He was in danger if he was exposed - either way he was on a date with death almost daily.
Keep him alive and give him a happy ending by making sure he gets to bring his wife and kid home to India, it would’ve worked for a while but seemed unrealistic eventually. We know how he still would have to deal with the consequences of the case he was being prosecuted for, let’s say Sanyal helps him escape that too but he’d have to be on vigil constantly for ISI elements in Punjab getting to his family. History could repeat all over again - his family’s massacred, this time by literal terrorists working on this side of the border as revenge against him. The thugs of an MLA did what they did for grabbing land - this would have been worse; and they wouldn’t have spared his wife and kid either just because they are from Pakistan. He may not get a chance to avenge them and die alongside them or after watching all of his family killed before his eyes and getting tortured later on. Sanyal and his team may try to keep him and his family safe but there’s no guarantee they could have survived given the circumstances. You can never guarantee that there’ll be no lapses and sometimes one chance is all that’s required.
Make him and both sides of his families live in a different country altogether as they assume new fake identities and it wraps up everything in a neat bow. You get closure and move on from the story, the characters and it eventually ends up being in a way no different from the other happy spy films that drop the ball in the end.
This ending keeps the movie from leaving your mind because you know Jaskirat has completed his mission; it’s an absolute win as far as the task he was assigned is concerned but you move beyond the spy and see the man and he’s losing at his life. He loses his family (both sides of the border), his identity and even himself. That’s what makes the ending stay with you - it’s haunting and tragic, ironically for a hero who has achieved his goals and delivered exactly what was expected and asked from him, someone we see as a winner since he is safely brought back even after being captured after his cover is busted.
He came home to rest… only to realise, he had no right to even do that, he no longer had a home to return to, even if he wanted. And just like Sanyal said, he can’t expect medals or honours for doing what he did either. There’s no glory, nor rest; not even a home left for him to come back to anymore. There’s nothing for him on a personal level.
He can’t go back to the family who has moved on, he can’t get back or go back to the family he left behind either. To them, he’s now better off dead than living be it as Jaskirat or as Hamza.
And ironically, the only ones who are aware of both his identities, his existence and notice he’s gone missing only think of him as nothing more than an asset too.. he’s not referred to by either of his names when he’s reported missing as well - he’s referred as an “asset”.
When you think about that part you realise he didn’t just lose the things mentioned above - he also lost his personhood and was reduced to being an “asset”. Truly the most tragic character ever created in modern movie history in India in god knows how long.
I heard him speaking in very pure Hindi, no trace of accent or discomfort with any words and they flowed so easily on the recent launch event.
I would definitely love to see him do a period/fantasy drama. We know he’s got the chops courtesy of Bajirao.
He could also perhaps play Raja Bharat or maybe Vikram from Vikram and Betaal. I would love an unhinged Rajkumar Rao as Betaal while Ranveer dons the role of Raja Vikramaditya. Would be absolutely fantastic.
Of course if he’s Dhar’s Ashwathamma, it would be probably even better because can you imagine the buzz around their reunion especially on what Dhar has called his dream project so many times?

I completely agree by keeping him alive ,dhar managed to convey the tragedy of choosing to serve your country as a spy , he is literally an unknown man . No family , no friends , no name !!!
Such a tragic end !!
This is the scene I was talking about in my review as well . Seriously 
My whole Insta is filled with this scene
Females simping over him and recording this scene.
& I was busy ogling him, so I forgot to record. 
But by god He looked soo hot in Dhurandhar.

I genuinely don’t get the hype around Dhurandhar. Every few months Bollywood collectively decides that this is the film we must all be excited...
