If Inglourious Basterds and KGF had a child that they were unable to abort, then you would get Dhurandhar The only two saving graces of this movie are Akshay Khanna (and Rehman Dakait's Character) and the soundtrack. This movie belongs in the category of 'This would've been SO GOOD if it was GOOD." Because beneath all the derivative filmmaking, int...

Dhurandhar (2025): A spy action thriller about an agent that goes on a covert operation to infiltrate local gangs in Pakistan. The story is gripping and is well presented. The screenplay is mostly good, a couple scenes could have been trimmed to make the screenplay a bit tighter. The direction is great as well, the incorporation of real events and ...

Absolute Cinema which is banger in every fucking aspect.

3.25/5 Story: After a series of terrorist attacks in India planned by Pakistan, including the 2001 Parliament assault, IB Chief Ajay Sanyal (Madhavan) comes up with a bold plan to weaken the enemy by targeting its criminal network. To carry out this dangerous mission, he recruits a man who takes on the identity of Hamza Ali Mazari (Ranveer Singh)...

This film operates on steroid-fueled masculinity and an unhinged espionage energy, packing in so much narrative material that it often feels like it could have worked just as well as a series. The runtime is definitely felt, and the momentum dips at times, yet the film never lets you detach from its narrative. The stylized character presentation, ...

Just rewatched Dhurandhar and it’s still one wild ride. This movie delivers big time on action-packed with intense sequences, a powerful score, and a cast and crew that clearly gave it their all. The set pieces feel massive and the energy rarely lets up, making it a thrilling experience from start to finish. My only real gripe is the runtime. At 21...

To begin with Dhurandhar indeed had something of a Mass Appeal which became evident from the buzz it created with its teaser and its eventual soaring box office numbers. But it couldn’t translate into an adrenaline pumping experience in Theatre and eventually left me wanting for more. Let’s discuss on what worked well. Firstly the fact that the m...

Aditya Dhar, 6 yrs after URI, is giving us Dhurandhar 1 & 2. It feels like he has taken his revenge for The Immortal Ashwatthama getting rejected now the producers will finally see the true potential of his craft. Ranveer Singh × Akshay Khanna⚔️...

After almost two years — with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani being the last — I finally walked into a movie theatre again to watch a Bollywood film, and I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, quite the opposite. A spy action thriller directed by Aditya Dhar (whose Uri: The Surgical Strike and Aakrosh I’ve mildly liked), Dhurandhar is the first instalmen...

Aditya Dhar’s directed Dhurandhar. The latter is supposedly an operation by Indian intelligence that’s literally a one-man mission, set in the Lyari neighbourhood of Karachi, Pakistan. The former debuted with Uri (2019), a pure actioner, posing as the untold classified story of Indian Army’s retaliation to the terrorist attack on a brigade headqua...

To prevent future terrorist attacks and to cut the head of the snake off, a man embeds himself in the belly of the underworld to gather intel and commit espionage. This is a terrific movie mixing different genres into one. The main genres are organized crime, spy, romance, and politics. The story's timeline is built around tragic events, but the s...

Director Aditya Dhar's magnum opus Dhurandhar is a masterfully narrated and powerfully acted cloak-and-dagger thriller that keeps you hooked through most of its runtime. Dhurandhar chronicles the journey of an Indian spy operating in Pakistan disguised as a terrorist. How he wins the trust of mafia bosses and gathers intel about upcoming terror at...
