@thefynprint @ActusDei Hi Guys any coupon code for Annual plan? Thanks

[Ankur Mittal @ankurmittal]

It's been more than six months since @RuPay_npci launched RuPay Ekaa, but there have been no significant offers or benefits so far. It seems they have lost the plot.

Why would I pay 10K fee for a card that offers fewer benefits than a LTF card..

@uptickr @nalinmoniz @ionicwealth As a wealth management company who may expand into PMS and AIFs are ok with this accredited investor concept which will block many potential customers?

By his own admission a professional India- baiter.

Demeaned himself by begging the boss not to terminate him.

And this publicly. No self- pride.

His argument for being retained was citing his record of conscious negative reporting on India.

Such reporting was done to pander to the entrenched anti- India bias of WP.

One needs to ask the question whether papers like WP, NYT, WSJ etc believe that professionally their raison d’être is not to report objectively about countries but to frame reporting within the parameters of their own established ideological prejudices,

So much sympathy for the job loss of a journalist with no sympathy for India is surprising. @MrinalPande1

Extremely horrible card application process at @bobcardofficial Card approved 20 days ago, vkyc also completed, still no sight of the card! Customer care is clueless, support email dont exist or dont respond, is this how you run a bank??

[VK @twikarth]

@etihad your new credit card partner @bobcardofficial is extremely inefficient and not has no accountability or transparency, application is stuck for more than 20 days and they are clueless on what’s happening!

The two tweets by RGV on Dhurandhar are such good reading.

For people interested in cinema, it unpacks the craft. Gives language to the skill which you have experienced the emotional impact of in your viewing, but could not articulate.

Probably what a review should read like.

[Paresh Rawal @SirPareshRawal]

Hey ramu thanks for teaching our so called CRITICS to how to review the film ! Hope they Grow up ! @RGVzoomin

DHURANDHAR is not a film , it is a QUANTUM LEAP in INDIAN CINEMA

I believe that @AdityaDharFilms has completely and single handedly changed the future of Indian cinema , be it north or south ..That’s because Duradhar is not just a film.. it is a quantum leap

What Dhurandhar achieves is not just scale, but a never before experienced vision not just in sight but in the mind . Aditya Dhar doesn’t direct scenes here… he engineers the states of minds of both the characters and us audience
The film doesn’t ask for your attention.. it commands it. From the very first shot , there’s a sense that something irreversible has been set in motion, and the audience is no longer a spectator but an accomplice to the happenings on screen

This is a film that refuses to be polite. The writing cuts with intent, the staging breathes menace, and the silences are as weaponized as the thunderous sound effects . Dhar understands that power in storytelling is not volume… it’s pressure building . Every sequence feels compressed, like a spring being wound never knowing when it will snap . And when it does, the impact is not just brutal but it is also symphonically operatic

The Performances in the film aren’t designed to be liked but they’re designed to linger long after we leave the theatre .. Characters walk in carrying history on their shoulders, and the film trusts the audience enough to read their scars rather than spoon feed their backstories. This confidence which could be easily mistaken for arrogance is precisely what marks Dhurandhar as a turning point for Indian cinema . Dhar assumes that the audience are intelligent which is the highest respect a director can pay to an audience , whereas most film makers believe in dumbing down their films

Technically, the film redraws the grammar of mainstream Indian cinema. The sound design doesn’t decorate scenes, it stalks them. The camera doesn’t observe but it circles it like a predator. Action here isn’t choreography for applause.. it’s perspectively justified and extremely ugly , the way real violence should feel.

But beyond craft, what truly elevates Dhurandhar is its intent. This is not a film chasing trends or validation. It is a solemn declaration, that Indian cinema doesn’t need to dilute itself to become successful and doesn’t need to mindlessly copy Hollywood. Dhar proved that it can be rooted and still be internationally cinematic.

When the final credits roll, you don’t feel just entertained, you feel altered. And that’s the mark of a filmmaker who isn’t just making movies, but he is reshaping the very ground that all us film makers stand on.

[Ashwin Sanghi @ashwinsanghi]

So I’m late to the #Dhurandhar party, but I finally watched it, concerned how I would watch a 3h34m film in one go. That particular thought never resurfaced once the film started rolling.

I’m truly at pains to understand why anyone would call this an anti-Muslim movie. Sure, the bad guys are Muslim politicians, mafia dons, and bent cops of Lyari, a suburb of Karachi. But who else would you expect to feature there? Buddhists? Quakers? Baha’i?

Nor can I understand why this is being called a propaganda film. We saw Zero Dark Thirty, in which the CIA emerged smelling of roses. We never called that propaganda.

We saw American Sniper, in which the Iraq War was presented through the lens of US sacrifice! I could name several other movies that pushed a narrative that was not fully borne out by the facts, but we never rushed to label them as propaganda. We understood that they were entertainment loosely based on real events.

I also cannot understand the statement, “I may disagree with the politics of it…” Frankly, there is hardly any Indian political angle. In the context of the IC814 hijack, the political establishment (Vajpayee ji’s government) is shown as helpless (which it unfortunately was). And the intelligence failure of the 26/11 attacks is attributed to a multiplicity of conflicting intelligence inputs, instead of slamming the UPA for having been caught napping. So, the only politics presented is Pakistani politics… what is there for Indian audiences to agree or disagree with?

Dhurandhar reminds me of why I became a storyteller. It’s why I’m drawn to fictional narratives where history provides the columns and beams, and imagination fills in the brick and plaster. Facts hold the structure; storytelling makes it inhabitable.

There are those who ask: why not simply tell the story? Why do we need song and dance? Frankly, I belong to that group. But maybe that's why this movie is not just great storytelling but also a stunning commercial success.

A quick word on Operation Lyari, since it keeps coming up. This was never a formally acknowledged, declassified “operation.” It’s journalistic shorthand for India’s long-term covert HUMINT in Pakistan.

Lyari only mattered because it sat at the crossroads of the underworld–terror nexus: smuggling routes, money flows, handlers, and logistics. Dhurandhar fictionalises this world by compressing timelines and merging multiple unnamed and unproved operatives (possibly Ravindra Kaushik, Kulbhushan Jadhav, Mohit Sharma et al) into a single protagonist.

I have often said that I see my job as the 3 E’s: Entertain (70%), Educate (20%), and Enlighten (10%)— and in that order. Dhurandhar follows that grammar, hence the connect.

First, it entertains unapologetically: pace, tension, scale, music, and performance keep you engaged for almost four hours without once glancing at the clock.

Second, it educates… not by lecturing, but by exposing viewers to the texture of covert intelligence work, the chaos of fragmented inputs, and the murky ecosystems where crime, terror, and politics intersect. There are youngsters unfamiliar with how Uri, Pulwama, Pahalgam and Red Fort are part of a pattern that includes the 1993 Mumbai blasts, IC-814, Parliament Attacks and 26/11.

And finally, in a smaller but important measure, it enlightens, reminding us that history is rarely neat, that statecraft often operates in moral grey zones, and that truth is sometimes best approached obliquely, through fiction. But importantly, it drives home the point that disparate factions can come together, united by a shared ideological fervour rather than language or ethnicity, when the enemy is India/Hindus.

Heartiest congratulations to @AdityaDharFilms @RanveerOfficial @rampalarjun #AkshayeKhanna @ActorMadhavan @duttsanjay @bolbedibol and @jiostudios. Also, a shout-out to my friend @AdityaRajKaul whose research has powered the narrative. More power to each of you!
