No one saw this coming :) BJP leadership loves to send journalists and YouTubers on a wild goose chase till they get exhausted and then come up with a name no one expected :) . It is an adventure sport 😂

Well Arfa begum has a problem :)
Got to watch Dhurandhar and let me say this upfront: it is not an anti-Islam movie, despite what some are claiming. Srinagar’s INOX is housefull it’s difficult to get a Dhurandhar ticket at the counter. Keep your tickets booked in advance! Attaching a picture of the INOX

I was going to say that. We should not be surprised if she starts blaming BJP for this. And her voters will even believe her.
@sunandavashisht Don’t be surprised if she starts blaming BJP, Hindus, and people from outside responsible for the mess

Gosh!!! Dhurandhar has unleashed idiots on my TL. Who is this handle? And what is a ‘safe’ film!!!
If you are forced to work for 16-18 hours for 1.5 years continuously, to make the safest film in the country... there is something seriously wrong with filmmaking as a business model. Makers need to introspect big time.

She always does this. Immediately distances herself and pretends to be ‘shocked and disturbed’. It was your job to ensure this event goes smoothly. What are you Chief Minister for?
I am deeply disturbed and shocked by the mismanagement witnessed today at Salt Lake Stadium. I was on my way to the stadium to attend the event along with thousands of sports lovers and fans who had gathered to catch a glimpse of their favourite footballer, Lionel Messi. I

Left-Liberal meltdown over Dhurandhar is very satisfying. Having said that the truth is no one has a formula for a ‘hit film’. There are enough films that have tackled issues close to the hearts of RW that have flopped. Movie business is a different beast. No one can fully tame

Dhurandhar used Bahraini rapper Flipperachi’s song FA9LA in the film. Indian audiences loved it - and have made the song a colossal hit! This is a glimpse of India’s entertainment and music soft power (and hard power) that is soon going to become a norm. Global artists and

Truly stellar casting choices. Last time this happened in Hindi cinema was 30 years ago in Bandit Queen.
#SaraArjun was an excellent/perfect choice (like the entire cast), handpicked by @CastingChhabra (and #AdityaDhar) in Dhurandhar. I have never seen such a completely all-together, in sync cast, in a film. Sara portrayed the right intriguing mix of youthful vulnerability,

That is the life I aspire to. You come, you deliver, you detach :)
I find it quite funny that while everyone is fighting, Akshaye Khanna is just chilling in Alibaug #Dhurandhar

Vinod Khanna had a lot of screen presence. Strikingly good looks - born to play a hero on screen. He picked up acting skills as time progressed and was not afraid to experiment. But he remained a Star. Akshaye Khanna’s journey is different. Besides his starry launch, Akshaye was
