#SingGeetham

Producer Nag Ashwin backed a vision when most would have backed a business plan. 🔥❤️👏

@ThisIsDSP sir gave that vision a heartbeat with his Magical Music😍🙌🙏🏻
That's why Sing Geetham feels less like a film and more like magic.
Thank You @nagashwin7 for

In an industry where even legends eventually slow down, Sir Singeetham Srinivasa Rao remains one of the rare Indian directors whose passion for innovation appears undiminished by time.

#Peddi

[mehertej @mehertej2]

PEDDI - a God-tier musical masterpiece by A R REHMAN Sir🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥🔥😍😍 #Peddi

[mehertej @mehertej2]

PEDDI film shows BUCHI BABU SANA’s great intent and honesty to tell this story the way he wanted to, that sincerity echoes throughout the film and elevates the work of every artist and technician involved. 🔥🔥🔥@BuchiBabuSana Sir 🫡 Respect😍for #Peddi

[mehertej @mehertej2]

#Peddi With PEDDI, Ram Charan Sir has entered a space few stars dare to occupy—where courage in script selection matters as much as box office pull. This speaks volumes about his emotional intelligence as an actor. Telugu cinema's own Aamir Khan. Respect @AlwaysRamCharan Sir 🙏🏻

#Dhurandhar2 It was an astounding experience to see real incidents and characters blended so well with fiction. I was immersed throughout and couldn’t feel the length of the film. Big applause for @AdityaDharFilms ‘s bold and unpredictable use of craft , particularly unconventional length of shots, scenes and film. @shashwatology Music was exceptional. @RanveerOfficial ‘s unconventional performance and terrific screen presence was a pleasure to watch. @ActorMadhavan ‘s performance was nuanced with new and apt expressions. Casting made the film feel all the more real. All performers and technical teams have outdone themselves. A historic moment in Indian Cinema for sure 💥💥💥

[mehertej @mehertej2]

One of the Greatest performances ever in the history of Indian Cinema- @RanveerOfficial sir
One of the very few Indian Directors who can keep you hooked for 4 hours with his Madness of CRAFT - @AdityaDharFilms sir
DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE -
Insane Craftsmanship
It’ll HAUNT you

From COPPOLA to ADITYA DHAR

A directors growth not only from what he learnt from previous directors who came before him , but also from directors who came after him ..In that context here are my new learnings from Aditya Dhar’s DURANDHAR

From Coppola I learnt intense closeted drama , which I tried to emulate in Satya, Company, Sarkar etc. But now Dhurandhar shows that approach can work far more effectively with scale.

Writing scenes assuming the audience will feel even before they understand is a new one

I was one of the first mainstream Indian directors to refuse elevation of heroes . Bhiku Mhatre was terrific inspite of not being celebrated and Amitabh Bachchan worked in Sarkar without a single slow motion shot
But Dhurandhar invents a never before seen or experienced new kind of elevation in creating flawed but consequence driven heroes.

Making a star disappear into the story is a new one

Another lesson is that violence should hurt the viewer ,not just entertain them and so to design action as an organic and emotional projection rather than loud illogical choreography is a new one , a must learn lesson ,especially for the pan india film makers

I never believed in the so called three act structure but Dhurandhar extends that belief to almost a breaking point that even uneven and fractured narratives can command attention.

The ingredients of Dhurandhar can push stories to be abrupt, unresolved, sometimes even unfair. Also It breaks away from the cliche of tying knots just for the sake of untying them.

My use of sound created dread without visual excess , but Dhurandhar showed that sound and music in a strange mating ritual can become the lead psychological forces even more powerful than dialogue and visual .

I once assumed it was intelligence , but later on my intention to deliberately keep on provoking replaced the honesty in me and In sharp contrast to that, Dhurandhar respects the audience without explaining anything

I was always anti trend and confronted it , but mostly for the sake of shock value , whereas Dhurandhar doesn’t chase validation because it announces a higher purpose.

I always believed that scale should be shown internally and not as a bloated display , but Dhurandhar proves that scale can coexist with restraint in order to create a symphony of previously unfelt emotions

My final learning is that i don’t need to grow by myself , but i need to catch up with what others have become

Hey @AdityaDharFilms ,thank you for becoming the new Ayn Rand of my life

“ Art is not what it is .. Art is what it could be“

—- AYN RAND

[Ram Gopal Varma @RGVzoomin]

Here are some unique lessons that all the so called film makers can learn from Dhurandhar

1.Unlike the other so called pan india big films , the film doesn’t even try to elevate the hero and give him the so called elevation moments to make the audience forcefully worship him with the use of slow motion and ear splitting background music . It actually lets his flaws and the related consequences coexist, thus making the audience tense instead of giving a clap trap applause.. it is incredible that @RanveerOfficial the star steps back to allow #akshayekhanna to fill the frame because that is the requirement of the story and is a testament to Ranveer’s understanding of cinema

2.Unlike how most films explain, Dhurandhar withholds. Long stretches of silence explode what pages of exposition cannot do in other films

3. It treats violence not as spectacle but as a psychological blow .. @aejazgulab does a fantastic job as the action director who doesn’t care about giving clap trap moments but he integrates the characters and their current state of minds into every ounce of it’s violence .. Gulab’s action in the film is the finest I saw in Indian cinema and I frankly can’t think of even a Hollywood film to beat it from the top of my mind .. There’s a lot to learn from Aejaz Gulab especially for the South Indian pan India action directors because every blow of his leaves an emotional residue, both moral and physical, long after the scene and the film is over

https://t.co/c197cEtnPU abandons the three act safety net.. The narrative moves like real life , uneven, impulsive, sometimes abrupt , rejecting neat rises and cathartic payoffs.

https://t.co/CdB6yhdCVk trusts the audience’s intelligence unapologetically
No spoon feeding, no emotional underlining. Meaning is discovered, not delivered.

https://t.co/Vgy6xlim3p makes the sound design a lead actor even in its background noise, breathing, distant chaos, the whole sound becomes a psychology in the film , and not just accompaniment.

https://t.co/SxPicZtYIh refuses genre loyalty because it mixes a blend of political thriller, character study, visceral action film and moral tragedy among many others thus shapeshifting the cinematic horizon

8. For the first time I experienced background music becoming foreground music , that doesn’t tell you when to feel heroic, scared, or relieved. The constant unease yet peppered with a emotional rollercoaster is the real soundtrack of the film achieved by the unimaginably talented @shaswatalogy

9. Dhurandhar treats cinema as confrontation and not consumption because it doesn’t want to just entertain you for three and half hours , but it’s real intention is to stay with you long after the film is over and maybe forever

Hey @AdityaDharFilms , A big thank you for making Indian cinema finally grow up and for giving all us film makers past , present and future too, to once again take baby steps holding your hand

DHURANDAR’s success is not being just another BLOCKBUSTER , it is a WARNING to the film industry to GROW UP

[Aditya Dhar @AdityaDharFilms]

Sir… 🙏
If this tweet were a film, I would have gone to watch it first day first show, stood in the last row, and come out changed.
I came to Mumbai years ago carrying one suitcase, one dream, and an unreasonable belief that I would one day work under Ram Gopal Verma. That never happened. But somewhere along the way, without knowing it, I worked inside your cinema. Your films didn’t teach me how to make movies — they taught me how to think dangerously.
To have you say that Dhurandhar is a quantum leap feels surreal, emotional, and honestly a little unfair… because now whatever I do next has to live up to this tweet. 😄
You were one of my favourite directors who made Indian cinema feel fearless, impolite, and alive. If Dhurandhar has even a fraction of that DNA, it’s because your films whispered (sometimes screamed) in my head while I was writing and directing it.
If I’ve assumed the audience is intelligent, it’s because you taught an entire generation that cinema should never apologize for its ambition.
Thank you for this generosity, this madness, and this validation.
The fan in me is overwhelmed.
The filmmaker in me feels challenged.
And the boy who came to Mumbai to work under RGV… finally feels seen. 🎥🔥🙏
