Key Takeaways
Mumbai, December 10 (NationPress) Actress and politician Smriti Irani recently expressed her admiration for the film 'Dhurandhar' and its dedicated team on social media.
She shared a striking collage featuring the lead cast including Sanjay Dutt, Ranveer Singh, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, director Aditya Dhar, and actor Arjun Rampal, accompanying it with a heartfelt and impactful message that reflects the movie's core themes.
In her note, she stated, “If you have ever looked into the eyes of a soldier's grieving spouse and accompanied her to the cremation ground, if you have visited the Jagti camp in Jammu, if you have seen the abandoned temple grounds of Sharika Devi in Srinagar, if you have met those who were on duty during the Parliament attack or have loved ones who survived the 26/11 Mumbai attack, then nothing in Dhurandhar should shock you—after all, it’s merely a film.” (sic)
Commending Aditya Dhar for his direction, she remarked, “As a storyteller, @adityadharfilms is a master craftsman; as a research enthusiast, even more so. The quiver on the face as he reveals a deceased son makes Akshaye Khanna’s performance a lesson in artistry, while @ranveersingh’s penetrating gaze speaks volumes even in silence—essential viewing for anyone aiming to leave a legacy, and @rampal72’s menacing portrayal is truly a revelation.”
She also praised the soundtrack, stating, “And the music, oh my! When a director’s fervor aligns with the discerning eye of a casting director like Mukesh @castingchhabra, you can be sure the screen will be electrifying.”
Smriti further added, “Dhurandhar is not just a film—it echoes lives lived and lost; and if cinema invokes that gravity, perhaps it deserves more than mere outrage. Those who have had the honor of being around a legend like Ajit Doval may find it slightly surreal to see @actormaddy portray a cinematic version of him, yet no better actor could so effortlessly embody a tempest within.”
She concluded with a tribute, “To the known and unknown heroes who have sacrificed their lives for our safety and continue to seek justice for ordinary Indians—Dhanyawad; our nation honors you and remains forever indebted. #dhurandhar”
The film Dhurandhar premiered on December 5 and has been receiving overwhelming acclaim from both audiences and critics.
Recently, actress Deepika Padukone, who made time to watch her husband Ranveer Singh’s film Dhurandhar, shared on social media, “Dhurandhar is a must-watch and worth every minute of its 3.34 hours! Treat yourselves and head to the cinema NOW! So incredibly proud of you, Ranveer Singh! Kudos to the entire cast and crew! @adityadharfilms | @officialjiostudios” (sic).
