Garnering robust reviews and acclaim from industry peers, the film has now received a significant endorsement from a celebrated figure in Indian cinema.
Shivarajkumar's Heartfelt Applause at '45' Success Meet
Kannada superstar Shivarajkumar, currently basking in the success of his own film '45', recently shared his profound admiration for 'Dhurandhar'. During a press interaction celebrating his film's performance, he took a moment to commend the multi-starrer. According to an IANS report, Shivarajkumar expressed that he thoroughly enjoyed the film, finding it "emotionally strong" with a powerful and engaging narrative.
He praised the overall craftsmanship, stating, "The emotions were fantastic, the making was very good, and every actor has performed exceptionally well." He emphasized that the emotional core of the film resonated deeply and worked exceptionally well on screen.
Special Accolades for Lead Actors' Performances
Shivarajkumar offered detailed insights into the performances of the two leads. He appreciated watching Akshaye Khanna on screen, noting that his role possessed a certain freedom that allowed the exploration of diverse character shades.
However, he reserved special praise for Ranveer Singh, highlighting the challenging subtlety required for his character. "Ranveer Singh's character, on the other hand, demanded a lot of subtlety, which is not easy to pull off. He handled it brilliantly and beautifully," the seasoned actor remarked. This nuanced appreciation underscores the depth of Singh's performance beyond his typically vibrant on-screen persona.
Advocating for Multi-Starrer Narratives
Reflecting on the film's ensemble strength, Shivarajkumar also spoke about the significance of multi-starrer films in the current cinematic landscape. He asserted that such films are needed now more than ever, as they provide a platform for multiple actors to shine and bring rich variety to the audience's experience.
Shifting focus to his own project, his latest film '45', which released on Christmas, is also holding steady at the box office. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, the film has collected over Rs 15.85 crore globally in its first week, marking a commendable worldwide performance.
The convergence of success stories—'Dhurandhar' roaring since early December and '45' making its mark—highlights a vibrant period for Indian cinema, with veteran artists like Shivarajkumar bridging industries through their appreciation for compelling storytelling and stellar acting.
