Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

Ranveer Singh's film **"Dhurandhar" is officially confirmed by director Aditya Dhar not to be based on the life of Major Mohit Sharma**, the Ashok Chakra awardee known for his undercover operations against terrorists in Kashmir. This clarification came after speculation arose from the trailer and media reports linking Ranveer's character with Major Sharma's covert missions. Director Aditya Dhar stated the film is a **fictional spy thriller** with an expansive storyline and not a biopic of Major Mohit Sharma. He assured that if they ever make a biopic on Mohit Sharma, it would be done with full consent and respect to the family's legacy[1]. Despite these clarifications, the film's plot and Ranveer Singh's character's look have led many viewers to speculate a connection with Major Sharma's story, who famously operated undercover as "Iftikhar Bhatt" infiltrating Hizbul Mujahideen in the early 2000s[2][5][9]. The film involves secret agents, intelligence operations, and themes of Indian patriotism and geopolitical conflict, inspired loosely by real-life covert operations but not directly portraying Major Sharma's life[7][12]. Additional details about **"Dhurandhar"** include: - The film is expected to run for about three hours and aims to keep the narrative engaging without rushing the story[1]. - Besides Ranveer Singh, the film features an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, with characters possibly inspired by real-life intelligence and law enforcement figures but fictionalized for the story[6][12]. - The film is scheduled for theatrical release on **December 5, 2025**[1][2][7]. In summary, **"Dhurandhar" is a fictional spy thriller inspired by real-life intelligence operations but is not a direct biopic of Major Mohit Sharma, and the filmmakers have clarified this officially to settle related rumors**[1].
