“The last great war will not be fought for land or oil, but for water,” declares the ominous font at the end of Boond, the 2009 National Award-winning film that marked the debut of Dhurandhar director Aditya Dhar who turns 43 today. He served as the writer and Associate Director to Drishyam 2 helmer Abhishek Pathak. Seventeen years later, countries are still being bombed and leaders being killed for land or oil. Water is still not as contentious, even in the films of Dhar, which are big on jingoistic set pieces and military/covert conflicts between India and Pakistan. From his 2019 directorial debut feature Uri: The Surgical Strike to the record-breaking Dhurandhar franchise, what is the bone of contention? Rewatching Boond now doesn’t give the answer, but it surely offers a telling peek into Dhar’s philosophy and politics.

Lallan (Rajesh Bagotra), a mute guy, desperately claws his way into a rickety, makeshift framework protecting something precious in the middle …

But we do have one new piece of information about Dhurandhar 2, which might give fans something to be excited about — Yami Gautam’s special appearance. Ranveer Singh might be joined by Yami Gautam in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2 During the promotions of their 2019 film Uri: The Surgical Strike, filmmaker Aditya Dhar and his now wife, actor Yami Gautam, fell in love.
