Farah Khan Praises 'Dhurandhar' and Hypes 'Tees Maar Khan' as 'Real Oscar' Film
Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan recently shared exciting insights about Bollywood films in her latest YouTube vlog. She visited the Mumbai home of Bigg Boss 19 finalist Pranit More, sparking lively conversations about cinema.
High Praise for Akshaye Khanna and 'Dhurandhar'
During the vlog, Farah Khan expressed admiration for Akshaye Khanna's performance in Aditya Dhar's blockbuster film Dhurandhar. The movie stars Ranveer Singh in a leading role and has achieved massive box office success. Farah highlighted how Khanna's acting stood out in the star-studded cast.
Pranit More then made a surprising statement about Farah's own film. He declared, "Dhurandhar ke baad Tees Maar Khan ka hi raaj chal raha hain." This translates to "After Dhurandhar, only Tees Maar Khan is ruling." The comedian added a playful twist by calling it the "asli Oscar" or real Oscar film.
'Tees Maar Khan' and Its Cult Following
Farah Khan enthusiastically agreed with Pranit's comments. She shouted "Oscarrr!" in response, referencing the Oscar-themed plot of her 2010 heist comedy. In Tees Maar Khan, Akshaye Khanna portrays actor Aatish Kapoor, a character obsessed with winning an Academy Award.
Although the film initially struggled at the box office, Farah believes it has developed a strong cult following. She particularly notes its popularity among GenZ audiences today. The movie features Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in prominent roles.
Fun Banter About Directing Preferences
The vlog also featured lighthearted moments between Farah, her cook Dilip, and Pranit More. Pranit attempted to teach Dilip some stand-up comedy techniques, leading to humorous exchanges.
Pranit posed an interesting question to Farah Khan. He asked whether she had more fun directing Shah Rukh Khan or Dilip. With a smile, Pranit suggested Dilip was the answer. Farah responded with a subtle nod and a smile, neither confirming nor denying the playful assumption.
"Don't listen to him, he is a stand-up comedian, he is always joking," Farah remarked about Pranit's comment. She then humorously elevated Dilip's status by comparing him to Shah Rukh Khan's star power.
Comparing Blockbuster Success
While Tees Maar Khan has found renewed appreciation, Dhurandhar continues to make waves as one of India's highest-grossing films ever. The Aditya Dhar-directed movie features an ensemble cast including Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Sara Arjun alongside Ranveer Singh.
The vlog concluded with Farah enjoying Pranit's mother's special Surmai Fish-fry, wrapping up the entertaining and insightful session. This casual gathering offered fans a glimpse into Farah Khan's current perspectives on her filmography and Bollywood trends.
