About Dhurandhar 2 controversies
Despite the controversy, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, has made a strong start at the box office. The film has attracted attention not only for the performances but also for the controversies surrounding it. From court petitions and public outrage to debates over its political undertones, Dhurandhar has remained in the headlines.
Allegations also emerged from the family of Ashoka Chakra awardee late Major Mohit Sharma, who claimed the film draws heavily from his life and covert operations. Further criticism came from members of the Baloch diaspora, who objected to the portrayal of Baloch characters and insurgent groups.
Additionally, critics have argued that the film leans strongly towards nationalist themes, with its depiction of cross-border tensions and intelligence networks being viewed by some as politically charged and propagandist rather than purely cinematic.
