Ranbir Kapoor and Sunny Deol Laud 'Dhurandhar' as Film Gains Industry Acclaim
Since its theatrical debut in December, Aditya Dhar's cinematic venture 'Dhurandhar' has captivated audiences and sparked widespread discussion. While Ranveer Singh's intense portrayal and Akshaye Khanna's authoritative screen presence have drawn significant praise, the film has now garnered accolades from other prominent Bollywood figures.
Ranbir Kapoor's Heartfelt Endorsement During Live Session
Ranbir Kapoor, who maintains no personal social media presence, recently participated in a live interaction through his brand's official handle. When a fan inquired about his current cinematic preferences, Kapoor enthusiastically singled out 'Dhurandhar'.
"Current favorite movie? The last current favorite movie, I guess, was Dhurandhar. I absolutely loved that film," Kapoor expressed. "I think the entire cast and crew really smashed it, and really good times at the movies."
During the same conversation, Kapoor provided updates on his forthcoming projects. He confirmed that Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana: Part 1' will be his next release, indicating that the highly anticipated 'Love & War' is likely to arrive in cinemas the subsequent year.
Sunny Deol's Gracious Response to Iconic Dialogue Reference
Meanwhile, veteran actor Sunny Deol recently addressed a memorable dialogue from 'Dhurandhar' that directly references his legendary filmography. In a pivotal scene, Ranveer Singh's character declares, "Ghayal hun, isiliye ghatak hun." This line immediately resonated with audiences, as Ghayal (1990) and Ghatak (1996) are both iconic titles from Deol's celebrated career.
Speaking to ANI about this homage, Deol remarked, "Nahi, humare jo director hai, he is a great fan. Unhone meri picture dekhi hai aur unhone Ghayal, Ghatak, yeh sab filmein dekhi hai. So I think just out of respect, maybe he used the dialogue. I mean, they have used the titles, which is very sweet."
Industry Praise Builds Momentum for Upcoming Sequel
This wave of industry appreciation follows earlier recognition from Alia Bhatt, who finally broke her silence on the film by resharing a post from her production house to praise the project. The collective endorsement from such esteemed actors has significantly amplified the film's cultural impact.
Looking ahead, enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the sequel, 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', which is scheduled for theatrical release on March 19. The growing acclaim from both peers and audiences suggests strong momentum leading into the franchise's next chapter.
The convergence of praise from multiple generations of Bollywood talent—from established veterans like Sunny Deol to contemporary stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt—highlights 'Dhurandhar's' cross-generational appeal and solidifies its position as one of the most discussed cinematic achievements of the season.
