Following the explosive theatrical release of Dhurandhar: The Revenge on March 19, 2026, veteran actor Anupam Kher has shared a glowing review of the film. In a passionate social media video that has since gone viral, Kher lauded director Aditya Dhar’s vision and Ranveer Singh’s powerhouse performance, while taking a sharp swipe at those labeling the film as “propaganda.”
A “Salute” to Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar
Kher, who is known for his candid industry takes, expressed immense pride in the sequel to the 2025 blockbuster. He specifically highlighted Ranveer Singh’s portrayal of Jaskirat Singh Rangi (alias Hamza Ali Mazari), an Indian spy navigating the dangerous underworld of Karachi.
“I am an acting teacher, and for me to really salute someone, it takes a lot of time and conviction,” Kher stated in his video. “Ranveer Singh, salute. You are outstanding.” He further praised the film’s technical prowess, noting that the last 30 minutes of action were “breath-taking” and the writing “superb.”
The veteran actor also shared a personal connection to the project, revealing that the title Dhurandhar originally belonged to his late best friend, filmmaker Satish Kaushik. Kher expressed emotional gratitude to the makers for honoring Kaushik’s memory in the film’s credits.
Addressing the “Propaganda” Debate
As Dhurandhar 2 continues to shatter box office records—minting over ₹100 crore on its opening day—it has also faced criticism from some circles calling it a “propaganda” film. Kher did not hold back in his response to these detractors.
“People calling it a propaganda film, I feel pity for them. They should be ashamed of themselves,” Kher said. “It is a film that talks about Modern India and how meticulously our agencies are doing their job.”
Kher compared the current backlash to the criticism faced by his own films, such as The Kashmir Files and The Accidental Prime Minister. He described the film’s massive commercial success as a “slap” to critics who try to undermine cinema driven by national pride and conviction.
Box Office Juggernaut
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar: The Revenge features a star-studded cast including Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal. The film picks up immediately where the first installment left off, chronicling the protagonist’s rise within the Lyari underworld to dismantle terror networks.
Despite its lengthy runtime of nearly four hours, the film has seen over 90% occupancy in many territories. While critics have noted that the sequel feels “looser” in its writing compared to the first part, the sheer scale of the action and Ranveer Singh’s “raw, emotional” performance have solidified it as a “must-watch” for the masses.
