Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar turns into a cultural moment as Shraddha Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Allu Arjun hail the film, urging makers to fast-track the sequel amid historic box office numbers.
Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar is no longer just a film running successfully in theatres — it has officially become a full-blown Bollywood event. The Ranveer Singh-led spy thriller has not only stormed the box office but has also sparked an unusually emotional response from industry insiders, with actors lining up to shower praise on the film. The latest and loudest cheerleader? Shraddha Kapoor, who has openly demanded that the makers prepone the release of Dhurandhar Part 2.
In an industry where stars often keep their reviews diplomatic, Shraddha’s reaction stood out for its raw excitement, humour and unapologetic fandom. Her words echoed what audiences across the country seem to be feeling — Dhurandhar isn’t just entertaining, it’s addictive.

Shraddha Kapoor’s Review Breaks the Internet
On Monday, Shraddha Kapoor took to Instagram to share her thoughts on Dhurandhar, and her review instantly went viral. In a cleverly dramatic tone, she wrote on her first slide, “Truly terrible of Aditya Dhar to make a film like Dhurandhar.” Fans initially thought it was criticism — until they swiped.
Her second slide delivered the punchline: “And then make us wait three months for Part 2. Don’t play with our emotions, prepone the release please. What a phenomenal experience.”
Shraddha didn’t stop there. She went on to confess that had she not been scheduled for an early morning shoot, she would have gone straight back to the theatre to watch the film again. Her line, “Subah shoot nahi hoti toh kasam se abhi hi dobara dekhne jaati,” struck a chord with fans who have already begun repeat viewings of the film.
She also placed Dhurandhar proudly alongside other major 2025 releases, writing, “Chhaava, Saiyaara, Dhurandhar — all in 2025 Hindi cinema,” followed by a rocket emoji, signalling what many believe is a defining year for Bollywood’s resurgence.
Calling Out Negativity and Standing by Good Cinema
What made Shraddha’s review even more impactful was her direct reference to the controversies the film faced before release. Without naming names, she addressed the alleged negative PR and manufactured controversies that attempted to derail the film’s momentum.
“From Yami Gautam having to call out the rampant negative PR machinery to manufactured controversies, Dhurandhar endured it all and came out shining,” Shraddha wrote. “No bad force can pull a good film down. In audiences, we trust.”
The statement was widely applauded by fans and filmmakers alike, especially in an era where perception battles often overshadow cinema itself. Aditya Dhar responded warmly, sending love and gratitude to Shraddha for backing the film so passionately.

Bollywood and Beyond Are Spellbound
Shraddha Kapoor is far from alone in her admiration. Dhurandhar has received praise from across industries and regions. Vicky Kaushal, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Allu Arjun have all publicly applauded the film, calling it gripping, intense and refreshingly fearless.
For Aditya Dhar, this overwhelming response from peers marks a massive validation. Known for Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dhar has once again tapped into national sentiment while delivering a slick, high-stakes narrative that keeps audiences glued to their seats.
What Is Dhurandhar About?
At its core, Dhurandhar is a gritty spy action thriller inspired by real-life incidents. The film follows the story of a covert Indian operative who infiltrates the dangerous gang of Rehman Dakait in Lyari, Pakistan. The mission is twofold — dismantle the gang from within and secretly supply RAW with critical intelligence about its connections with the ISI.
The narrative unfolds with razor-sharp tension, blurring the lines between loyalty, survival and sacrifice. Rather than relying solely on bombastic action, Dhurandhar dives deep into psychological warfare, moral dilemmas and the cost of living a double life.
Ranveer Singh Leads a Power-Packed Ensemble
Ranveer Singh’s performance has been widely hailed as one of the most controlled and intense roles of his career. Stripped of flamboyance, the actor delivers a brooding, layered portrayal that anchors the film’s emotional core.
Supporting him is an impressive ensemble cast including Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt and R Madhavan — each bringing gravitas and unpredictability to the story. Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi and Danish Pandor also play key roles, adding texture to the narrative.
Industry insiders believe the casting choices have played a huge role in the film’s success, with each actor perfectly fitting into Dhar’s tightly constructed universe.
Box Office: ₹500 Crore and Counting
The numbers speak volumes. Dhurandhar has already crossed the ₹500 crore mark worldwide within just 10 days of its release — a feat that places it firmly among the biggest blockbusters of recent times. What’s more impressive is its sustained performance, with strong weekday collections indicating solid word-of-mouth.
Trade analysts point out that the film’s success isn’t driven by hype alone but by repeat audiences and genuine appreciation. In a market where films often see sharp drops after opening weekends, Dhurandhar continues to pull crowds across urban and mass circuits alike.
Ranveer Singh’s Poetic Gratitude
Amid the roaring success, Ranveer Singh shared a reflective note on Instagram that resonated deeply with fans. Quoting in Hindi, he wrote, “Kismat ki ek bohut khoobsurat aadat hai, ki woh waqt aane par badalti hai… lekin filhal… nazar aur sabr.”
The message, loosely translated, speaks about fate’s habit of changing when the time is right, while urging patience and perspective. Fans saw it as a subtle acknowledgment of the highs and lows of his career — and a reminder that perseverance eventually pays off.
Sequel Already Locked — But Fans Want It Sooner
The sequel to Dhurandhar is officially scheduled for release on March 19, 2026. However, Shraddha Kapoor’s playful demand to prepone the release has now ignited fresh excitement around Part 2.
The sequel is set to clash with Yash’s Toxic: A Fairytale for the Grown-Ups, promising a massive box office showdown. Given the scale of Dhurandhar’s success, expectations for the next chapter are sky-high.
For now, Dhurandhar continues its victorious march, proving once again that when storytelling, conviction and audience trust align, even the loudest negativity fades into silence.
As Shraddha Kapoor rightly put it — in audiences, we trust.
