In my review, we said Dhurandhar: The Revenge was undeniably a spectacle engineered for scale. Explosions erupted at regular intervals, violence was dialled up to an almost numbing degree, and Ranveer Singh was placed front and centre as an indestructible, hyper-macho force. But as our three-out-of-five-star review pointed out, this was also a film weighed down by its own excess. At nearly four hours, the narrative felt indulgent and overstretched, with at least half an hour that could have easily been trimmed without losing impact. What begins as a gripping espionage setup gradually morphs into a bloated ode to its leading man, where emotional depth and nuance take a backseat to spectacle and swagger.
