The film ‘Dhurandhar’ brings together Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, creating anticipation for a dynamic cinematic experience. While the cast’s efforts are commendable, the film struggles to maintain consistent engagement. Ranveer Singh delivers his trademark energy and charisma, injecting life into his character with moments of genuine intensity. Akshaye Khanna’s performance, though nuanced, feels slightly restrained in comparison, leaving some emotional beats less impactful than expected.
The screenplay attempts to blend action and drama but falters in pacing and coherence. The plot, though promising in parts, becomes predictable and occasionally drifts into clichés. The dialogues aim for wit and depth but sometimes fall flat, making it difficult to fully connect with the characters’ journeys. Visually, the film impresses intermittently with stylised sequences and clever use of locations, yet it lacks a sustained visual rhythm that could have elevated its storytelling.
The musical score complements some scenes well but overall does not leave a lasting impression. A few supporting roles add value, though they’re underused and tucked away in the narrative’s corner. For viewers seeking pure entertainment, ‘Dhurandhar’ offers moments of excitement but leaves an uneven overall taste.
The film earns its half star for the lead performances and flashes of creativity but ultimately settles into the average category. It might appeal to fans of the actors but may not satisfy those looking for a tightly woven thriller or a compelling emotional drama.
