I do not even know where to start but I will try my best to give it a shot.
The thing is that we have abused words like greatest, masterpiece, generational and blockbuster to an extent where they mean nothing anymore and we have thrown them at so many empty mediocre films that when something real arrives we do not have the vocabulary left to honour it. Because of that inflation of praise I do not know how to give justice through words to something that actually deserves reverence.
All I can honestly say is that every Indian should watch this film because Dhurandhar is not just any film, it is one of the greatest cinematic experiences of recent times and unquestionably the best espionage film in Indian cinema.
The performances are frighteningly brilliant because these people are not acting. They are breathing the consequences of history. Akshaye Khanna does not perform, he embodies Rehman Dakait, one of the finest actors this country has ever seen. Ranveer Singh reminds you that regardless of how loud, messy or chaotic he is as a public figure he is a generational actor. Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun every single one of them delivers with terrifying precision.
Aditya Dhar, easily one of the best directors right now, deserves to be celebrated because he has created something that deserves cultural recognition. We celebrate average films with loud voices but this is the kind of work that should be remembered. I am genuinely glad that this story is being told in two parts because one film could never have carried the weight of this narrative or the tension of this experience.
There is a moment in this film where they play the real recordings from 26/11 attacks, the real conversations between the handlers and the terrorists and in that moment everything becomes frightening, enraging and unbearably real. It does not sensationalise tragedy and it does not treat terror like entertainment. It confronts you with history and demands that you feel something instead of just consuming it.
Dhurandhar is special because it is not scared to show the truth even when the truth is ugly.
Oh man, I could go on and on about how I am in absolute awe but anything I say right now will probably sound like hyperbole to y'all, so it is better that you go watch the film and live the experience I just lived.
The post credit scene that teases Dhurandhar 2 gave me chills.
19 March 2026. I'll be there.
I don't know if these words do justice to what I just experienced, but if you're reading this -
Go watch Dhurandhar. Not later. Now.
