Dhurandhar: Ranveer Singh's spy thriller flashes brilliance but falters
A high-octane spy thriller that shines in bursts, Dhurandhar pairs Ranveer Singh with an star-studded cast but struggles with a crowded plot.
Dhurandhar lands as a high-octane spy thriller led by Ranveer Singh, backed by a starry ensemble including Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt and R. Madhavan. It fires on a few brisk, pulse-pounding moments and slick gun-giggle energy, but the plot often buckles under a crowd of characters and multiple storylines, earning a lukewarm 2.5 out of 5 in reviews.
A notable talking point is the cast’s dynamic energy, especially Rampal, Dutt and Madhavan, which keeps the film engaging in several sequences. There’s also an exclusive nod from Rakesh Bedi about playing a real political figure and the advice not to chase overnight stardom as a by-product of good work.
Growing curiosity surrounds the movie’s inspiration, with chatter that the lead character echoes Major Mohit Sharma, even as the director denies a direct link. The buzz is heightened by news that Dhurandhar Part Two is slated for release on March 19, 2026, promising a continuation that will clash with Yash’s Toxic.
For fans of covert-ops cinema who enjoy a punchy, gun-slinging vibe, Dhurandhar offers moments of adrenaline and ensemble energy. But for viewers seeking a tight, cohesive narrative, the film’s sprawling setup and tonal shifts may feel uneven.
