# Ranveer Singh's Triumphant Return: Everything You Need to Know About 'Dhurandhar' After two years away from the big screen, Ranveer Singh is back—and he's bringing one of Bollywood's most ambitious spy-thrillers with him. 'Dhurandhar' has arrived at theatres with all the makings of a blockbuster, and early reactions suggest this could be the superstar's strongest comeback yet. ## What Makes 'Dhurandhar' a Game-Changer **A Bold New Scale for Bollywood** 'Dhurandhar' isn't your typical action film. Clocking in at a staggering 3 hours and 34 minutes, it stands as Bollywood's longest release in 17 years—a title it hasn't held since Jodhaa Akbar in 2008. This ambitious runtime reflects the film's commitment to storytelling depth, blending espionage, patriotism, and raw human emotion into one cinematic experience. **An All-Star Ensemble Cast** The film boasts an impressive lineup that reads like a who's who of Indian cinema. Alongside Ranveer Singh, the cast includes veteran actors R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal, with Sara Ali Khan anchoring the female lead. This combination of seasoned performers promises a dynamic on-screen chemistry that elevates the entire narrative. ## The Story Behind the Action Directed by Aditya Dhar, 'Dhurandhar' draws inspiration from real-life events and geopolitical tensions, particularly Operation Lyari—a significant government-led crackdown on crime syndicates in Karachi, Pakistan. The film follows a RAW operative named Sanyal who orchestrates a risky infiltration into the criminal underworld to counter terrorism threats. At the heart of this covert operation is a young boy from Punjab, wrongfully held captive due to a revenge crime, who becomes an unlikely ally. The narrative explores powerful themes of bravery, sacrifice, and the complex dynamics of national security—all wrapped in gripping spy-craft and intense action sequences reminiscent of Shakespearean betrayals. ## Critical Reception and Audience Response Early reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. Audiences and critics are calling the film an "absolute blast," praising everything from the high-adrenaline patriotic drama to Ranveer Singh's powerful performance. The background score, composed by Shashwat Sachdev with lyrics by Irshad Kamil, has earned particular acclaim for its ability to deliver those spine-tingling moments during climactic scenes. The cinematography further enhances the immersive experience, transporting viewers into the gritty underworld setting. Box office predictions suggest 'Dhurandhar' could mark Ranveer Singh's biggest opening since the pandemic, signaling strong audience appetite for this genre and scale of filmmaking. ## A Historic Achievement This is also Ranveer Singh's first A-rated film, marking another milestone in his 15-year career. The A certificate reflects the film's mature content and complex themes—a bold choice for a mainstream Bollywood hero that demonstrates the actor's willingness to take creative risks.
