Anurag Kashyap Praises Dhurandhar Except For A Couple Of Dialogues

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has shared his thoughts on the blockbuster period spy thriller Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar. Kashyap praised the filmmaking as "top-notch" but expressed disagreement with certain political dialogues in the film. The movie has been a massive success at the box office, starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role. 

Kashyap specifically took issue with two dialogues: R Madhavan's "Ek din aisa ayega jab desh ke baare mein koi sochega..." and Ranveer Singh's "Yeh naya India hai" at the end of the film. These two were related to a political party.  Despite these disagreements, he added, "Take those two aside, it's a good film. In fact, a brilliant film that is entirely set in Pakistan".

Kashyap also praised Aditya Dhar's honesty and "stubbornness" in making the film. He said, "Agree or disagree with it, the man is honest. Not an opportunist like others." Kashyap highlighted Dhar's personal experiences as a Kashmiri Pandit, saying, "All his films are about Kashmir. He is a Kashmiri Pandit who has suffered. Either you argue with him or let him be." Ranveer Singh's performance was also lauded, with Kashyap calling it his favorite.

The film's technical aspects were also praised, with Kashyap comparing it to Hollywood classics like The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty. Dhurandhar has received both success and criticism for its perceived political undertones, but Kashyap's review suggests it's worth watching.
