Saw Dhurandhar last weekend. It's a proper paisa vasool entertainer! Ranveer was fire, and Akshaye Khanna was a class act. Good to see such positive reviews from our film industry elders.

While I respect Shatrughan ji's opinion, I feel the film's politics are a bit heavy-handed. It's a well-made film technically, but calling it just a "film is a film" ignores the context. A more balanced critique would be welcome.

The songs are already a hit! 'Shararat' is on loop in my playlist. It's great when a film delivers on music, story, and performances. Might go for a second watch this weekend.
