Actor Vivek Oberoi<\/a> has finally watched Aditya Dhar<\/a>\u2019s Dhurandhar<\/a>, starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, and he can\u2019t stop praising the team behind the film. He has compared its impact to Ranbir Kapoor<\/a>\u2019s much-debated hit Animal, describing it as a \u201cjarring shock\u201d that stays with the audience long after the credits roll.<\/p>\n

Vivek on Wednesday took to social media, Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter, to applaud the makers of Dhurandhar. He also heaped praise on the entire team, including Ranveer <\/a>and Akshaye<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI finally watched #Dhurandhar after missing it in the GCC, and I am mind blown. This is more than cinema; it is the jarring shock of a switch being flicked in a pitch-black room,\u201d Vivek began his note.<\/p>\n

The actor also took a dig at people who were outraged after watching Dhurandhar as he wrote, \u201cIf you have ever stood in the heavy, airless silence of a martyr\u2019s home\u2014where the walls are crowded with memories, but the chairs remain perpetually empty. If you have felt the cold breath of history in the corridors where the unsung gave their ‘tomorrow’ for our ‘peaceful’ today. If you have looked into the eyes of a child who only knows their father through the glass of a framed photograph… then you will recognise the pulse of this film. Outrage is a luxury for those who have never had to face the facts; for the rest of us, this is simply the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Giving a shoutout to Aditya, Vivek compared the film to Ranbir Kapoor\u2019s Animal. He wrote, \u201c@AdityaDharFilms doesn\u2019t just narrate; he lets the story bleed and dares you to take your eyes off your screen for the full 3 hours and 34 minutes. This cinematic brilliance shines through the lens of a director who is devoted not to spectacle, but to the craft itself. Every frame casting a spell on the viewer, every character etched out masterfully. A film that has not just pushed the envelope but ripped it apart just like Animal did in 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vivek\u2019s shoutout to the cast<\/p>\n

Vivek went on to praise the performances as well, noting that Ranveer infused the character with an understated yet haunting silence, while Akshaye delivered a magnificent turn as the ruthless gangster.<\/p>\n

Talking about the performances, Vivek shared, \u201cThe cast has surrendered to the film with a fearlessness that is rare: @RanveerOfficial burns with a subterranean fire simmering under the restraint, proving that silence can be more haunting than any roar. Akshaye Khanna is magnificent, the power in that gaze, that smile and the intensity of the \u2018Kasainuma\u2019 violence, this Dakait captures your heart. @ActorMadhavan<\/a> is the intellectual steel, the calm eye within a lethal storm, the patriotic mastermind who I am so excited to see in Part 2. My legendary brother @duttsanjay and @rampalarjun bring a weathered, granite-like gravity that makes the shadows of the frontlines feel tangible.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo tell this story was a risk; to witness it is our duty. To the men and women, KNOWN and UNKNOWN, who stand as our shield while we sleep\u2014Dhanyawad. Our nation is forever in your debt. PS: Congratulation to Aditya Dhar and @jiostudios for becoming the highest grossing Indian film of all time, in a single language,\u201d he wrote while concluding his note.<\/p>\n

Dhurandhar makes it big<\/p>\n

Aditya Dhar\u2019s spy action thriller is the first instalment of a two-part film series. It features Ranveer Singh as Hamza, an Indian spy who infiltrates Lyari\u2019s criminal and political underworld in Pakistan as part of an anti-terror covert operation.<\/p>\n

Released on December 5, 2025, the film also stars Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi. The film has surpassed the lifetime collection of SS Rajamouli\u2019s RRR, making it the fourth-highest-grossing Indian film of all time. By Wednesday, the Ranveer Singh-starrer had earned \u20b9786 crore net ( \u20b9943 crore gross) domestically. Globally, Dhurandhar has now earned just under $32 million, which includes $20 million from North America alone. Part 2 of the film is slated to release in March this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Vivek Oberoi has finally watched Aditya Dhar\u2019s Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, and he can\u2019t…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":233902,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[82519,45148,82522,103915,93,68619,61,60,270,6155],"class_list":["post-233901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-aditya-dhar","tag-akshaye-khanna","tag-dhurandhar","tag-dhurandhar-box-office","tag-entertainment","tag-highest-grossing-indian-film","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-movies","tag-ranveer-singh"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233901"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233901\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
