Within Indian film circles, that endorsement has sharpened focus on a performance many view as Ranveer Singh's most assured work, uniting critics, audiences, and filmmakers in rare agreement about its control and power.

Kashyap’s reaction mirrors what many long-time cinephiles have discussed since Dhurandhar released. Conversations online and off have circled back to the same point.

Anurag Kashyap Praises Ranveer Singh performance in Dhurandhar

Praising the film and Ranveer's performance, Anurag Kashyap wrote, "A spy can not be a spy if he doesnt have hate and angst against the enemy state. A soldier also can not be soldier if He doesnt have angst against the enemystate.. On those two counts I have no issues. I have two sequences that I hava problem with. Madhwan saying - ek. Din aisa ayega jab jo desh ke bare me koi sochaga and another in the end when ranveer says ye naya India hai. Take those two asides it's a good film."

"Infact a brilliant film that entirely set in pakistan. I have known Aditya Dhar since his national award film film Boond. It's his politics. Genuine politics. Agree or disagree with it. Man is honest. Not an oppurtunist like others.all his films are about Kashmir. He is a Kashmiri pandit who has suffered. Either you argue with him or let him be. Fimmakin is top notch. If you love The hurt locker, zero dark thirty or house of dynamite. They are Oscar winning propaganda films about the USA. I ignored the two propaganda dialogues and loved the filmmaking and stubbborness of the film maker. And ranveer singh being my favourite performance. So secure.if l aa a filmmaker have to argue about the politics of it, I will call Dhar. But significant film.!"

Critics writing about Dhurandhar have stressed the psychological detail in Ranveer Singh’s performance. Reviews note that Ranveer Singh rarely raises the volume. Instead, small gestures, extended silences, and tense stillness build pressure. Many critics say this quiet control lets Ranveer Singh dominate the frame while keeping the character grounded and eerily believable.

Audience reactions have matched that critical praise, especially on social media platforms. Viewers repeatedly describe Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar work as “the finest,” “best,” and “impactful.” Many posts highlight how the combination of intensity and restraint leaves a strong after-effect, with the character staying in people’s minds long after they exit the cinema hall.
