Hrithik wrote that he admired how the narrative pulls viewers into its world, adding that, despite disagreeing with the political messaging, Dhurandhar offered him valuable lessons as a student of cinema. “I don’t agree with the political part of it… but I learned a lot from it and loved it. It’s an amazing film,” he said.
Akshay Kumar also weighed in, praising director Aditya Dhar’s approach. In a post on X, he said the film left him “blown away”, noting that hard-hitting stories are essential and that the audience’s response reflects its impact. Filmmaker Siddharth Anand echoed similar sentiments, while director Madhur Bhandarkar termed Dhurandhar a “blockbuster”, calling Akshaye Khanna’s performance a “masterclass” and applauding Ranveer Singh’s intensity on screen.
The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, has continued its strong run at the box office since its December 5 release. On its sixth day, Dhurandhar collected ₹29.2 crore, taking its domestic total to ₹188 crore. Industry estimates place its worldwide earnings in the ₹250–260 crore range, positioning it among the year’s top-performing films.
With prominent industry voices backing the film even amid debate over its political stance Dhurandhar appears set to maintain momentum as it enters its second week in theatres.
