Dhurandhar Audience Review: Is Ranveer's Film Worth The Hype? Here's What Fans Liked & Disliked

Dhurandhar Audience Review: Dhurandhar has put Ranveer Singh back at the centre of big-screen attention. The new action thriller draws from real incidents linked to RAW and intense geopolitical flashpoints. Viewers will see events based on Operation Lyari, a crackdown on gangs and crime syndicates in Karachi's Lyari region. The film is written, directed and co-produced by Aditya Dhar, and Dhurandhar also marks the first collaboration between Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar.

Dhurandhar brings together a large ensemble, with Ranveer Singh leading a cast that includes Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi. Each actor is expected to play characters tied to different layers of the security establishment, criminal networks and political interests, reflecting the complex backdrop of Operation Lyari. The movie reportedly ranks among the longest films made in Indian cinema, giving space for detailed world-building. Its soundtrack has already drawn attention, with tracks teased as matching the tense narrative. As Dhurandhar has hit the theatres today, fans have been brimming with an opinion about it.

Taking to the micro-blogging site Twitter, a user wrote, "Give this man the best actor in a negative role right now. #AkshayeKhanna is a genius. @AdityaDharFilms knows how to bring the best out of someone. #Dhurandhar is a winner. ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ The box office is going to explode". Fans have been all praises for Ranveer and Akshaye Khanna's performance along with the background music and action sequences. However, there were fans which weren't pleased with Dhurandhar especially because of its duration. A user wrote, "It's almost 1 hour 20 mins into #Dhurandhar and the movie is extremely indulgent and not engaging! The movie just goes from one event to another with no solid flow, after a point you just stop caring about the ongoing on the screen". Another user tweeted, "#Dhurandhar My review - ⭐⭐. Ranveer Singh and all other actors are incredibly good as usual. But movie is so boring and long stretched , I felt like dying in that empty theatre ( every 15 mins felt like an hour there)".

Meanwhile, Yami Gautam penned a heartfelt note for Aditya Dhar post Dhurandhar release and wrote, "And it's DHURANDHAR DAY today !!!! Some of the hardest working & gem of people that I know & proud to call them my family !!! You have given all your heart, devotion, dedication , intent, passion , sweat , blood , tears (which you never show) to this film, Aditya !!! Too many emotions running today, many hearts beating together !!! You guys are Dhurandhars in your own might. DHURANDHAR Is not a parting gift of 2025 but is here to welcome 2026 for all of us across globe. Ab yeh aapki film hai, audience".
