The ultimate flex in any social situation is just listening to others without needing to talk about yourself. It’s interesting how much it stands out when someone does this. Clear sign of confidence.

THE #Dhuroxic PARK
NO, I am not talking about TWO BIG FILMS #Dhurandhar2 and #Toxic releasing on March 19th. I am actually talking about a NEVER BEFORE SEEN or EXPERIENCED mythical archetype EXPLODING in the GRAND ARENA of INDIAN CINEMAS.
It is a BATTLE between DAVID AND GOLIATH

KGF 2’s GOlIATH like collections suddenly looked like a tiny DAVID in front of #Dhurandar ‘s GOLIATH collections.
But now the sequel to that GOLIATH #Dhurandhar2 , is the new DAVID staring up at #Toxic, the fresh GOLIATH

I strongly believe that #Dhuroxic is not about North against South, not Bollywood against Sandalwood. It is actually a brutal clash between two CULTURES , not of regions, but of cinema
The principal difference between the two is that #Dhurandhar respects the audience’s intelligence and #Toxic presumes their dumbness.
KGF 2 was a LOCAL film that aimed at the DUMBNESS in the MASSES and }Dhurandhar aimed at the INTELLIGENCE in the MASSES

THAT is exactly why it became GLOBAL

#Dhurandhar a reported 130 cr DAVID film (both versions together cost some 260 cr) hit some 1500 cr, proving that the so called MASSES are actually far more INTELLIGENT than what the MASALA MERCHANTS ever imagined.

It is IMPORTANT to note that @AdityaDharFilms never once presumed the audience was dumb, but after the film released, the MASSES answered in a thundering, earth-shaking voice: “YES, WE ARE ACTUALLY THAT INTELLIGENT… THANK YOU FOR NOTICING.”
So on March 19th, when the lights in the theatres go down across the world, two DAVIDS and two GOLIATHS will be fighting a BATTLE
The fight will be between these 10 SAVAGE brutal truths

1. Mindless hero worship VERSUS the audience themselves discovering heroes through their moral actions in the story

2. GRAVITY defying stunts that mock physics and insult every school kid whoever studied NEWTON ,VERSUS the #Dhurandhar action so raw and real one actually feels the punches

3. Background scores that scream “CLAP AND WHISTLE NOW, YOU IDIOTS” every five minutes VERSUS dead silence that lets brilliant performances do the TALKING

4. 700 cr spent to make ONE guy look like an invincible God versus 130 cr spent to make EVERY character in #Dhurandhar feel equally human

5. Treating AUDIENCES like dumb idiots who must clap and whistle on every CUE versus treating them like adults who can follow a complex plot, make their own judgements and don’t need to be spoon fed by EAR SHATTERING background music

6. Ultra slow motion hero entry shots and flying hair straight out of a shampoo ad VERSUS cold, calculating intelligence that actually challenges the viewer
7. Reducing Indian cinema to a mass-hero worship ritual VERSUS cinema that excavates the intelligence hidden inside the masses minds

8. Vulgar budgets blown on VFX fireworks, eyesore sets and stars just to hide creative vaccum VERSUS every single rupee in #Dhurandhar spent on crafting lethal, immersive emotions that stay with you forever

9. A film that begs the audience to switch their brains off to enjoy it versus a film forcing you to think, feel and question every frame

MONEY being POURED versus MONEY being PUT TO USE

DISCLAIMER:

NO, it is not my love for @AdityaDharFilms which made me write this, but it is my HOPE for INDIAN CINEMA.
I am waiting with bated breath for MARCH 19th to know if INDIA is DHURANDHAR or TOXIC. 🙏

@Airtel_Presence I am not a airtel customer. I am receiving calls from airtel to port out from my current operator and join airtel

[Ninad Thakurdesai @nindu_ninu]

@Airtel_Presence Please stop calling me every week to port my number to Airtel. I will officially file a complaint if a get any further calls.

[Ninad Thakurdesai @nindu_ninu]

@ViCustomerCare Thank you

[Ninad Thakurdesai @nindu_ninu]

I've received two calls this week from @airtelindia, urging me to switch from @ViCustomerCare. This feels like a blatant misuse of my data! 🤔 How do they even know my provider? @ViCustomerCare, they're openly poaching your subscribers. @TRAI

[Ninad Thakurdesai @nindu_ninu]

@ViCustomerCare Thank you Aniket. As we discussed, thank you for reassuring on the data privacy. I hope that my other concern of openly poaching the customers is also noted and hope that Vi takes corrective and competitive measures to thrive in the market.

This sequence in Dhurandhar powered by Usha Uthup’s 1981 “Ramba Ho" was a banger.

[Pari @BluntIndianGal]

Watched Dhurandhar and gotta share my detailed review.

@AdityaDharFilms - Kudos to you for such masterpiece. Every character has their own intro and story. This movie shall be added to one of the gems Bollywood has ever made. It takes courage to make movies purely displaying nationalism. You're clearly a winner here.

@RanveerOfficial - No words can justify the actor you're. The variations in emotions, the change of expressions, the calmness, the roar, the agression, you're just the best. You literally get into the character you play be it Bajirao, Khilji, Rocky Randhawa and now Hamza.

Akshay Khanna - The aura you carried throughout is so powerful. Every frame legit leaves imprints.

@rampalarjun - I've always imagined you calm & composed but this brutal & ruthless side was breathtaking.

@ActorMadhavan - No one could have done what you pulled off.

@duttsanjay - Always flawless the way you're.

Such movies are once in ages kinda stuff. Watch it if you're true cinema lover so as to not miss on such gem. Can't pen down the cheers and whistles during movie. This is genuinely victory of true cinema

[Yew's Finest @FinestYew]

Akshaye Khanna does not act in Dhurandhar. He allows Rehman Dakait's atma to possess him for the film.

There's acting & then there's whatever Khanna is doing.

[Yew's Finest @FinestYew]

If you're walking into Dhurandhar thinking it's generic deshbhakti movie, you'll walk out humbled.

Aditya Dhar subverts expectations. He forces you into deeply unsettling places & refuses to lie in order to make you feel better. Unsettling & exhilarating in equal measure.

[Sujit Patra @sachinfansujit]

I can rewatch the movie again in the theatre for the music that plays when #akshayekhanna goes to Balochistan in #Dhurandhar

Pure addictive vibes.

@shashwatology you are a gem.

Dhurandhar is so good, Aditya Dhar you cooked 🔥🔥
