Sudhir Mishra defends Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar against propaganda label: ‘Make a powerful film…’

Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra acknowledged that his sensibilities come from a very different school of cinema than Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, but that didn’t stop him from praising the Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna–starrer spy thriller. He applauded Aditya’s choices in casting and the film’s execution, and defended against the propaganda label. Sudhir Mishra took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to praise Aditya Dhar and his film Dhurandhar. Sudhir Mishra praises Aditya Dhar The filmmaker took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to praise Aditya Dhar and his film Dhurandhar. It began when one social media user asked whether any filmmaker from Indian cinema will make a film on the Unnao rape case. Responding to this, Sudhir wrote, “One of us has the guts. There is a film.

Dhurandhar is a ‘well-made film’, says Sudhir Mishra: ‘Aditya Dhar made the audience smell the place’ | Bollywood News

Dhurandhar has been on an unprecedented box office rampage, amassing a staggering Rs 1,117.90 crore worldwide so far. On its fourth Thursday, the film crossed the Rs 15 crore mark, putting it firmly on track to surpass the lifetime collection of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, which stood at approximately Rs 1,160 crore. While the film’s commercial success is undeniable, it has sharply divided public opinion. A section of audiences has embraced the film wholeheartedly and is eagerly awaiting its second instalment, slated for release in March. On the other hand, critics and viewers have labelled it a technically polished yet politically loaded movie. Then there are voices from within the industry—like Hrithik Roshan—who may disagree with the film’s ideological stance but have openly acknowledged its cinematic excellence. Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra recently echoed a similar sentiment. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Mishra wrote: “We belong to the Indian film industry and we are all different. By the way, Dhurandhar is a well-made film. Aditya Dhar is extremely skilled. The acting is terrific. The most …

During the interactive session, he said, “Tameez is when you don’t use bad language and ask questions politely. We need to bring back that Lucknow which asks questions, is confident, and curious. Otherwise, you just become a museum piece! That is the Lucknow I have known.” Sudhir, who has also tried his hand in acting, strongly advocates taking up the craft at an early …
