Sandeep Reddy Vanga called Dhurandhar "built like a man who doesn't talk much and carries a masculine spine," praising its dominance, tight depiction, performances and technical strengths—high praise that's amplifying the film's buzz among audiences and peers alike[1][2]. Hook — A director lauds a director: when Sandeep Reddy Vanga (maker of Animal) publicly praises Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, it's more than flattery — it's a spotlight that signals a film that's both a creative and cultural moment[1][2]. Why that line matters - "Built like a man who doesn't talk much and carries a masculine spine" frames Dhurandhar as a film driven by restraint and intensity, not spectacle—traits Vanga highlights as markers of dominance and fierce clarity in storytelling[1][2]. - Vanga singled out the overall craft—direction, screenplay, music and performances—calling them "on the top," which positions Dhurandhar as a complete, well-executed cinematic package rather than a one-note blockbuster[1][2]. - His praise specifically names Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna for disappearing into their characters, underlining the film's acting achievements as a key reason for its commercial and critical traction[1][2]. What audiences are noticing - The film's box-office roar and viral social-media presence suggest Dhurandhar is connecting with viewers beyond typical star power—audiences are responding to tone, performance and the film's disciplined execution[1]. - Comparisons with other recent macho-leaning films (like Animal) were expected after early looks, but many have noted Dhurandhar's distinct premise and character approach once the film released[1]. Context and impact - Celebrity endorsements from filmmakers can steer industry conversation and audience curiosity; Vanga's remarks are likely accelerating interest and framing Dhurandhar as a modern spy-action milestone[1][2]. - Producers and creators often point to such peer recognition when discussing sequels, awards-season prospects, or expanding a film into a franchise—Dhurandhar's strong reception may influence those downstream decisions[1].
