Dhurandhar is raw, ruthless, and absolutely unflinching.
Aditya Dhar has put together a full-blown big-screen assault - the world-building is so immersive and detailed that you feel every shadow, every scream, every drop of blood. Yes, the film is long... very long at 212 minutes. But those 212 minutes are pure madness.
The writing is top-tier, even if the pacing wobbles occasionally. What really surprised me is that Dhar refuses to take the usual espionage-thriller route. There's no cheap "what's next?" tension-building. Instead, he goes for a gritty, documentary-style tone ; dark, heavy, and brutally honest. The colour palette is gloomy, the lighting is fascinating, and the cinematography is just wild. Sashwat's music lifts the film several notches. And the violence? At times, it's genuinely hard to watch. This is brutality at its peak.
The characters are written with real weight. Akshay Khanna as Rahmat Dakait owns this film. What a performance. Ranveer isn't far behind either. Maddy, Rampal, Dutt... everyone is rock solid and brings something memorable. Special mention to Rakesh Bedi.
The final stretch sets up Part 2 beautifully; darker, deadlier, and ready to dive deep into Ranveer's past and whatever chaos comes next.
Dhurandhar is a beast of a theatrical experience. Miss it at your own risk.

Paisa vasool! Aryan Khan has delivered a bonkers show that's pure mass masala entertainment. It feels familiar in the best Bollywood way, yet somehow fresh and crackling with energy. This is hardcore masala for the true Bollywood fanatics.
The plot is tight, the cameos are fun, and the music hits all the right notes. Extra brownie points to Aryan, Bilal & Manav for sharp writing that keeps the madness flowing.
Performance-wise, Raghav Juyal absolutely steals the show with his comic timing, while Bobby Deol is menacing and magnetic every time he's on screen. And that climax? Totally crazzzzy - you don't wanna miss it.
All in all, a full-on entertainer that does exactly what it promises: give you a wild, masala-packed ride.

Eddington, my god... what did I just watch? I'm still struggling to wrap my head around it. This isn't a film you can box neatly into one genre - it's too wild, too layered, too much all at once. The direction is bold and unapologetic, every choice swinging for the fences, and it pays off in unexpected ways. The cinematography is stunning, each frame a visual mood piece that lingers long after. The background score elevates the madness, switching from haunting to hypnotic, keeping you on edge the whole time. And at the center of it all, Joaquin Phoenix delivering another powerhouse performance - raw, magnetic, and completely unshakable. It's crazy, it's raw, it's unsettling - and I can't stop thinking about it.
