Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, which also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan, has created havoc at the box-office and all eyes are now on the fact that it could challenge the Hindi collections of 2024's juggernaut Pushpa 2.
Sudhir Mishra praises the film
The veteran filmmaker praised the film by tweeting- "One of us has the guts . There is a film . You'll see it soon . Also please stop lumping us all under one brand , called Bollywood. We belong to the Indian Film Industry and we are all different. By the way Dhurandhar is a well made film . Aditya Dhar is extremely skilled."
Mishra added in his tweet- "The acting is terrific . The most difficult thing in film making is a Directors ability to make us , the audience " smell the place "and Aditya Dhar with the help of his brilliant Cinematographer and Production Designer manage to do just that . The casting , including the minor parts is bang on . I am of course, a filmmaker, from another school."
When a user called the blockbuster a propaganda film "with an evil intent to monetise on pop nationalism & sectarian mindset," the filmmaker replied saying, "Make a powerful film , with all the virtues of a great cinema experience which counters it."
New version of Dhurandhar
As per a report, a new version of the Aditya Dhar blockbuster will be playing in cinemas from January 1, 2026. This is due to an order by the I&B Ministry.
A source told the portal, "Theatres across the country received an e-mail from the distributors today, December 31, informing them they are replacing the DCP of the film. The reason for the change is that the makers have muted two words and changed a dialogue in the film, as per the directives received from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting of India."
