Noted filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has hailed 'Dhurandhar' as a game-changing film in Indian cinema. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the movie has left a lasting impact on audiences and critics alike. Varma praised Dhar's ability to craft a narrative that not only commands attention but also resonates deeply with viewers. Dhar's film refuses to shy away from its vision, instead, it boldly presents a unique perspective that is both thought-provoking and visually stunning. Varma noted that Dhar's storytelling is not about seeking validation but about making a bold statement about Indian cinema's potential to be both rooted and internationally relevant. Dhar, who was inspired by Varma's films, expressed his gratitude for the praise. He credited Varma's movies with teaching him to think outside the box and to create cinema that is fearless, impolite, and alive. The film's success, with a box office collection of over ₹700 crore worldwide, is a testament to Dhar's vision and Varma's influence. 'Dhurandhar' follows the story of covert intelligence operations set against the backdrop of significant geopolitical events, including the Kandahar plane hijack, 2001 Parliament Attack, and 26/11 Mumbai attacks. The movie features an ensemble cast, including Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, and R Madhavan, and has been produced by Dhar and Lokesh Dhar under B62 Studios in association with Jio Studios.
