Sandeep Reddy Vanga on Dhurandhar: Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar has grossed nearly Rs 800 crore worldwide. Marking Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna’s blockbuster comeback, the spy-thriller is all fans can talk about this December. It even had Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga review the film on social media. With all praises for Aditya Dhar, his post is now viral.
Making waves for over two weeks, the daily box office collection has not wavered below Rs 20 crore. Echoing the testament, Vanga, infamously known for depicting intense violence and an unfiltered approach to cinema, opined that Dhurandhar was ‘built like a man’. Sparking uproar on social media, director Dhar drafted a heartfelt reply for the ‘Spirit’ maker.
‘Dhurandhar is built like a man’
In a short and brief post on X (formerly Twitter), Vanga shared, “Dhurandhar is built like a man who doesn’t talk much & carries a masculine spine.” He felt that the title accurately fit the film, which “moves with dominance & fierce.”
Praising Dhar, Vanga felt that the “depiction is very clear with zero chaos.” He lauded the direction, viral background scores topping listening charts across platforms, and the screenplay fans can’t get enough of. Praising the actors who effortlessly portrayed Rahman Dakait (Akshaye Khanna) and Humza Ali (Ranveer Singh), Vanga tagged them and felt that they “erased into air & just disappeared into characters, effortlessly.”
He expressed gratitude towards the Uri director for making the film. He wrote, “Thank you, Aditya Dhar, for making everyone experience the true weight of untold sacrifices.”
‘My dearest Sandeep…’- Dhar replies
Penning a heartfelt reply, Aditya Dhar wrote back to Vanga under his post. Showered by praises already, this post came after Satya maker Ram Gopal Varma felt that Dhurandhar was a ‘quantum leap for Indian cinema’. Dhar, thanking Vanga for his comments, wrote, “I’ve always admired the fearlessness with which you stand by your cinema and your faith in unapologetic, masculine storytelling.”
Explaining his process of coming up with the masterpiece, Dhar revealed that the key ingredients for making Dhurandhar were ‘sincerity, restraint, and conviction.’ He opined that the voices of the likes of Vanga “keep Indian cinema honest, rooted, and strong.” He ended his note by saying, “Cinema remembers the brave, not the agreeable.”
