Dhurandhar is technically good cinema, but it is also pure, unadulterated, and unacceptable propaganda. You don't need to see the full 3.4-hour film to conclude that. I haven't. Now you have to hear me out before you go out to watch this piece of gratuitous gore wrapped in a spy thriller cover.
Aditya Dhar is an insidious bigot, proven by his deliberate choice to show Pakistan in a poor light. He could have chosen Mauritius, which has beaches where the lady spy could prance in a bikini. But no, he chose the lovely Lyari in Karachi. Do we not have kachchi aabadi in India?
My bigotry of low expectations is so profound that I patronisingly conflate 25 crore Indian Muslims with Pakistan, and by extension, Islam, and therefore, I cannot endorse this 'Islamophobia.'
I must offer my disservice now by preemptively attributing motives to Dhar and questioning the existence of any cinema, however well-made, that my indoctrinated intellect can't easily process.
I haven't seen the film, and I hope I don't like it when I do. My review will follow, but for now, know this: This is not my India. This is not my Bollywood.
Dear YRF, only your spy universe can salvage what is left of our nice little insulated universe. Please show an Indian spy making love with a terrorist-spy who has vowed a thousand cuts on India. Make love, not war. Peace and out. ♥️☮️♥️
I expect all like-minded global citizens to believe me and support me as I raise the heat in a already hot and fractured society. I will not allow Aditya Dhar to damage the fabric the threads of which I have been pulling so carefully as I pull the wool over your eyes.
Wait for my review where I will condemn the chutzpah of Dhar and pan his big outing after watching the film. Also, Yami shouldn't have married this man. She is a bigot too. Deepika shouldn't have married the nutcase who looks brilliant as the protagonist. She is a bigot too. Compromised by JP Nadda with a brand ambassador role. Also, anybody who watches this film is a bigot. Except the critic with a conscience, like me.
Rating: Dhurandhar gets 0 stars. It's an assault on our collective lack of conscience.
@RavinderKapur2 Really keen to understand the factors that would lead to this burst. Seems you’ve got some first hand info driving this opinion. Can you please share more?
