### Anupam Kher's Fiery Defense: "Should Be Ashamed" to Call *Dhurandhar 2* Propaganda! Imagine walking out of a theater buzzing with patriotic pride, only to hear critics dismiss it as "propaganda." That's exactly what ignited veteran actor **Anupam Kher**'s passionate response to *Dhurandhar 2*, the gripping sequel starring **Ranveer Singh** and directed by **Aditya Dhar**.[1][6] Kher didn't hold back in his emotional review, slamming those labeling the film as propaganda: "Should be ashamed to call *Dhurandhar 2* propaganda!" He hailed it as a "fearless, big-hearted triumph" for Indian cinema, praising its honest portrayal of unsung heroes from India's IB and RAW who risk everything silently.[2][4][6] Calling it "**Bharat ki film**," Kher revealed he immediately phoned director Aditya Dhar post-screening, joking, "Mata chadh gayi hai kya? Itni kamaal ki film banaayi hai!" (Have you gone mad? You've made such a brilliant film!).[2][4][8] What makes *Dhurandhar 2* stand out? Reviews rave about its roller-coaster narrative—a brisk first half building intrigue, a powerhouse second half with a climactic bang that earns ovations.[1] **Ranveer Singh** steals the show, effortlessly switching between intense roles like Jaskirat Singh Rangi and Hamza, delivering "restrained, quietly intense" brilliance that grounds the entire saga.[1][2][3] Kher credited Singh's calm confidence: "For a hero to play a henchman in a big commercial film, you need huge confidence—and he has that."[2][4] The ensemble shines too, with nods to Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal for their impactful turns.[3][4] Director **Aditya Dhar**'s conviction is the secret sauce—no formulas, just raw belief in a story woven from real incidents of India's struggles against neighboring threats.[3][6][7] Despite minor critiques like occasional heavy-handed government praise or less precise world-building, the film's forward momentum and emotional depth make it a worthy sequel.[1] Kher emphasized Dhar's courage, rooted in personal family struggles, proving "success shows what courage really means."[6]
