Akshaye Khanna is such an underrated actor. Good to see him getting his due. The film's subject sounds very relevant and important for today's youth to understand our nation's security challenges.

Watched Dhurandhar last weekend. Saumya's role, though short, was indeed impactful. The whole cast did a fantastic job. Films on real events like Operation Lyari need more support from us, the audience.

The film is good, but honestly felt a bit too long. The subject is powerful, but the pacing could have been better. That said, performances by Akshaye, Ranveer, and Saumya were top-notch.
