My Review: Dhurandhar – A Brutal, Gripping Saga That Delivers! With Dhurandhar, Aditya Dhar has absolutely raised the bar for Indian spy thrillers. While the 3-hour-34-minute runtime is a marathon, the sheer intensity and political depth of the narrative make it a worthwhile, exhausting watch. This isn't just a mission; it's a deep dive into the complex, often bloody, machinery of espionage. What Worked: The Sheer Intensity Akshaye Khanna Steals the Show: Ranveer Singh is good, but Akshaye Khanna as Rehman Dakait is the true highlight of the film. His performance as the Karachi crime lord is a masterclass in controlled menace. He makes you understand the character's terrifying logic, and his silences are louder than any action sequence. Every time he is on screen, you are completely hooked. Related Stories 'Dhurandhar' Cast: The Real-Life People Behind the characters of the Movie ...
