Ram Gopal Varma praises Dhurandhar

In a thoughtful note, Ram Gopal Varma penned down his thoughts about Dhar’s latest directorial outing, ‘  _Dhurandhar_’, calling it a “quantum leap in Indian cinema.”

The filmmaker wrote a long review and tweeted- “What  Dhurandhar achieves is not just scale, but a never before experienced vision not just in sight but in the mind . Aditya Dhar doesn’t direct scenes here… he engineers the states of minds of both the characters and us audience The film doesn’t ask for your attention.. it commands it. From the very first shot , there’s a sense that something irreversible has been set in motion, and the audience is no longer a spectator but an accomplice to the happenings on screen.”

RGV added, “When the final credits roll, you don’t feel just entertained, you feel altered. And that’s the mark of a filmmaker who isn’t just making movies, but he is reshaping the very ground that all us film makers stand on.”

Aditya Dhar reacts

“Thank you for this generosity, this madness, and this validation. The fan in me is overwhelmed. The filmmaker in me feels challenged. And the boy who came to Mumbai to work under RGV… finally feels seen.”
