**Is negativity around "Dhurandhar" just noise? Casting director Mukesh Chhabra thinks so.** When Bollywood buzz heats up, sometimes the loudest voices aren't the fairest. Ranveer Singh's much-anticipated action thriller *Dhurandhar* recently faced a flood of negative reviews even before many could watch it. But Mukesh Chhabra, the film's acclaimed casting director, has boldly slammed this early cynicism, calling the negativity "unnecessary" and "funny" given he witnessed the film's magic firsthand[1][4]. Chhabra shared on his X account that despite reports and social media chatter, the film came together brilliantly and even had to cancel the cast and crew screening due to a "technical glitch," not due to any lack of confidence. "Kya log hain… kisi ne film dekhi bhi nahi, but negativity ke liye ready hain. Haha. Phaad degi box office," he wrote, expressing belief that the film will burn up the box office[1]. Other industry voices like Yami Gautam have joined the chorus of support, highlighting the passion and dedication poured into *Dhurandhar*. She called it not just a film but "a welcome for 2026 across the globe," emphasizing how hard the team worked to create something special[1]. Though early morning footfalls were reportedly low, the film's late-night shows already saw substantial bookings and fans remain intrigued by the star-studded cast and intense narrative. Reviews also praised performances, especially Akshaye Khanna's impactful first half, suggesting the film delivers more than just action spectacle[2][3]. At the heart of it, *Dhurandhar*'s experience illustrates the modern challenge for movies: overcoming premature judgment fueled by social media hype rather than firsthand viewing. Chhabra's firm stand urges audiences to look beyond the noise and form their own opinions. **What do you think? Have you watched *Dhurandhar* yet or are you curious to see if it lives up to the buzz?
