Dhurandhar: Sometimes a film doesn’t just entertain, it raises your heart rate. Dhurandhar is one of those films. Featuring strong performances from Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal, this espionage thriller delves into Indian politics, taking you back to events we only read about in headlines. Despite its lengthy runtime of 3 hours and 34 minutes, the film keeps audiences captivated with its tension-building moments and powerful performances.
The film has been awarded an A certificate by the CBFC, and the highlight is that Dhurandhar is made in two parts. The second part is expected to be released in the summer of 2026. This already signals to audiences that the story isn’t over yet, and that big surprises are yet to come.
Dhurandhar Movie Review
The story of Dhurandhar revolves around Agent Hamza (Ranveer Singh), who infiltrates a terrorist network in Karachi. Winning the trust of gangster Rehman (Akshaye Khanna) and reaching ISI officer Major Iqbal (Arjun Rampal), the film weaves several real-life events such as the IC-814 hijacking and 26/11—into its narrative.
The first half holds the story together, with suspense, intelligence operations, and political manoeuvring keeping the audience engaged. However, the film falters slightly in the second half. The long runtime and some stretched dramatic moments diminish the impact of the climax. Despite this, Ranveer Singh’s performance anchors the film. He brings such intensity and emotional depth to his character that it can be considered one of the best performances of his career.
Akshaye Khanna proves to be a calm yet deeply impactful actor. Arjun Rampal brings a dangerous authority to his role. Sanjay Dutt’s presence adds a distinct star power to the film. However, Sara Ali Khan’s casting doesn’t seem as impressive. The film’s background score and action sequences are excellent, but the forced songs and slow pace occasionally drag down the story.
