Aditya Dhar's 'Dhurandhar' and its sequel 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' have stormed the box office, breaking record after record. The spy action thrillers have captivated audiences and the film fraternity alike. Actor Ranvir Shorey is among those who have been completely swept up by the two films.
Shreyansh Pandey Calls 'Dhurandhar' Pure and Good Storytelling
In a conversation with Moneycontrol, Ranvir and director Shreyansh Pandey opened up about 'Dhurandhar' and its significance for storytelling in Indian cinema. Shreyansh expressed admiration for the film, stating, "For me, Dhurandhar is just pure and good storytelling. As a viewer, I don't see any agenda in it. Something happened with our country, someone made a story about it, and made such a stylish story in such a good way, I don't see an agenda in it."
Ranvir Shorey Hits Back at Critics for Focusing on Political Angle
Ranvir was equally vocal in his support, adding his own perspective. He said, "Same here. I don't think either. The first one for me was a good spy thriller. The second one was a spy action film. I don't know why people choose to see just a political angle. In fact, one of my big pet peeves is this: whatever voices, reviewers, critics are taking a political angle on this film or on these films, you should check their reviews pre-2014, how many films did they review in which they were talking about the politics of the film? So I just think it's grossly unfair to a film to be looking at the politics angle of a film instead of the cinematic merit of the film."
