Still from Dhurandhar
The impact of the recently released film Dhurandhar has been profound, but for many. Among the many moments, actor Ranveer Singh's performance in the 26/11 sequence has emerged as the emotional core of the film, drawing an overwhelming response from audiences, critics, and even survivors of the tragedy. Among the most powerful reactions is that of a survivor who was inside the Taj Hotel on the night of the tragic attacks, whose words underline just how deeply Ranveer’s portrayal cuts.
26/11 terror attack survivor reviews Dhurandhar
The survivor took to her X handle and wrote, "I was in the Taj Hotel on the night of 26/11 with my husband Ajay_Bagga. We were fortunate to survive the heinous terrorist attack that night and were rescued alive after 14 hours."
She added, "The most bone-chilling scene in Dhurandhar for me was the red screen where the actual voice recordings of the 26/11 terrorists and their handlers were played. To hear what the handlers were instructing the terrorists to do, how brutal, inhuman and disgusting it was - just sent shivers through my body. To see the scene recreated from the other side- the handlers celebrating at every bomb going off & every person killed - if that doesn’t fill us with rage and renewed commitment to national security, what else will? 17 years have passed but the memory of what happened and what could have happened to us just shook me to the core . Gut wrenching and painful".
She also tagged the makers of the film in her post. "Huge credit to Dhurandhar and its makers Aditya Dhar for ensuring that an entire new generation understands what truly happened on 26/11 in just those 2–3 minutes. That look of RanveerOfficial will haunt an entire generation."
