6/ @Irshad_Kamil — special mention!
In a film filled with geopolitics, rage and realism, you give us a romantic track like "Gehra Hua" that pierces the heart.
Powerful lyrics meeting powerful visuals — rare, delicate craftsmanship. @shashwatology #DhurandharReview #Dhurandhar

5/-Continue- From "Naa to Karwan Ki Talash Hai" during Hamza’s entry to "Zehar bhi peete hai to kehte hai jeena hoga" in the finale -that is how music should be used in cinema: not decoration, but storytelling. @shashwatology @Irshad_Kamil #Dhurandhar #DhurandharReview

5/ @shashwatology — YOU are the invisible protagonist.
Your Music & BGM is a character — breathing, attacking, whispering, haunting.
The soundtrack stays in your veins long after the movie ends. #DhurandharReview #Dhurandhar #music #Songs @AdityaDharFilms @Irshad_Kamil

4/ Performances are top-tier.
@RanveerOfficial delivers a grounded, intense act.
Akshaye Khanna — no words, just nonstop applause.
@ActorMadhavan is brilliant.
@rampalarjun — after Rajneeti, this is his true comeback as an actor. 🔥

3/ And the visuals!
The camera work, lighting design, tactical framing of action and silence, and the emotional language of every shot… it’s the kind of cinematic grammar that should be taught in film schools. #DhurandharReview @AdityaDharFilms #Dhurandhar #DhurandharKaDhamaka

2/ @AdityaDharFilms take a bow.
During URI I realised you were a generational director. With Dhurandhar, you’ve made me believe it.
The construction of this film screenplay, pacing, dialogues, emotional architecture is pure masterclass. This isn’t filmmaking; it’s academic gold.

7/ @AdityaRajKaul , THANK YOU.
Seeing your name as Research Consultant instantly signals authenticity.
That accuracy, that nuance, that refusal to dilute the truth — it builds trust. It tells the audience: this is not fiction without spine. @AdityaDharFilms #DhurandharReview

[The Society Reader @AbhijeetM20938]

8/ Conclusion:
#Dhurandhar is THE MASTERPIECE OF THIS DECADE.
Cinema rooted in reality. Cinema that respects intelligence. Cinema that shakes you, stays with you, and demands a revisit.
Counting days for #Dhurandhar2 — 19th March 2026, come fast! @AdityaDharFilms @yamigautam

1/ #Dhurandhar is not just a film, it is an experience.
When I walked out of the theatre, I had only one thought — I want to watch it again. At interval, I genuinely wished this movie had no break. 3 hours 40 minutes flew like moments. Time dissolved, cinema took over.

@anupamachopra @anupamachopra if your cinema begins and ends in the Tiger-Pathaan-War bubble where RAW agents beach-dance with bikini-clad foes- of course Dhurandhar’s anti-Pakistan truth will unsettle you. Reality stings when fantasy blurs Pakistan’s terror guilt.

@imashishsrrk just keep observing the samosa reviewers they have now started giving box-office numbers update. In morning around 11-12 they were stating by Monday TIM shows will increase as #Dhurandhar will not work. Hypocrisy at its peak by samosa gang.

PREDICTION - 100 CR WEEKEND for #Dhurandhar #BoxOfficeIndia @AdityaDharFilms @yamigautam @jios

[The Cinema Monk @ccinemamonk]

Audience word of mouth is super positive- louder than any fake negativity out there. You can’t stop people from watching cinema with your samosa culture reviews. The audience decides, and they’ve chosen #Dhurandhar. 🔥@adityadhar @yamigautam

[The Cinema Monk @ccinemamonk]

@rohitjswl01 As of 9 PM, #Dhurandhar has already raked in ₹27 cr and it’s on track to hit ₹30 cr+ by midnight. 🔥If that trend holds, we could be looking at a ₹30 cr+ opening day! What a smashing start, especially after all the hate it got before and after release. #BoxOffice #SmashHit

2️⃣ Amit Bhatia (ABP News):
“#Dhurandhar is fantastic -absolute cinema by @AdityaDharFilms. The way he introduces characters and unfolds multiple stories together is impeccable. Loved every bit of it. The first shot of @ActorMadhavan brings another level of power to the film.”
