Vicky Kaushal salutes Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar with high praise and admiration. The latest Bollywood star to join the chorus, Kaushal shared his excitement after watching the adrenaline-fueled spy thriller, lauding Dhar and his team for delivering a film with remarkable conviction, finesse, and world-building. He also celebrated the stellar performances, calling them “Absolute PEAK PERFORMANCES” and praising the technical brilliance and engaging storytelling of the project.
Kaushal, who previously collaborated with Dhar on the 2019 blockbuster Uri: The Surgical Strike, reposted the Dhurandhar poster along with a glowing caption: “@adityadharfilms you beauty! What a mammoth task it must be for you and your team to pull off this film with such conviction, finesse and first-rate world-building Hats off!” He added further appreciation for the cast, emphasizing the ensemble’s top-tier work.
Dhurandhar stars Ranveer Singh as Hamza, an Indian spy selected by an intelligence chief (R Madhavan) to go undercover within a criminal syndicate operating in Lyari, Pakistan. Akshaye Khanna portrays Rehman Dakait, while the narrative fuses espionage, crime, and personal redemption.
The enthusiastic response from Kaushal mirrors a broader industry wave of praise. Prominent actors such as Hrithik Roshan, Anupam Kher, and Akshay Kumar have publicly lauded the film’s scale, craftsmanship, and performances.
Speculation has also arisen among fans about a possible Uri-connected universe, given a link between Kirti Kulhari’s character in Uri: The Surgical Strike and a name echoed in Dhurandhar, hinting at a potential shared storyline.
On the commercial front, Dhurandhar continues to perform well, reportedly surpassing Rs 180 crore in box office receipts, according to Sacnilk. The project is written, directed, and co-produced by Aditya Dhar, with Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar contributing to the production. The cast also includes Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in key roles.
Set amid Pakistan’s criminal networks, Dhurandhar blends espionage thrills with blockbuster energy. With strong box-office numbers and a highly positive reception, the creators have already announced a sequel, Dhurandhar 2, slated for release on March 19, 2026.
