shocked as Arjun Rampal and Akshaye Khanna’s characters celebrate the Mumbai terrorist attack. Then, the screen turns red and actual voice recordings of the terrorists are played. Recently, a survivor of the tragedy took to social media to pen what it was like to watch the scene on screen.

\n\n

Social media user Rajita Bagga, who survived the Taj Hotel attack along with her husband, Ajay Bagga, wrote on X, “I was in the Taj Hotel on the night of 26/11 with my husband
\n @Ajay_Bagga. We were fortunate to survive the heinous terrorist attack that night and were rescued alive after 14 hours.”

She wrote, “The most bone-chilling scene in #Dhurandhar for me was the red screen where the actual voice recordings of the 26/11 terrorists and their handlers were played. To hear what the handlers were instructing the terrorists to do, how brutal, inhuman and disgusting it was – just sent shivers through my body. To see the scene recreated from the other side- the handlers celebrating at every bomb going off & every person killed – if that doesn’t fill us with rage and renewed commitment to national security, what else will?”

\n\n

She added, “17 years have passed, but the memory of what happened and what could have happened to us just shook me to the core. Gut-wrenching and painful. Huge credit to Dhurandhar and its makers @AdityaDharFilms for ensuring that an entire new generation understands what truly happened on 26/11 in just those 2–3 minutes. That look of
\n @RanveerOfficial will haunt an entire generation. @TajMahalMumbai @AdityaRajKaul @yamigautam.”

In response, Aditya Dhar wrote, “Your words remind us why this story had to be told. That moment was shaped to reflect the brutal truth. If it leaves a mark, it is to ensure we remember, stand united, and never allow such darkness to return. Thank you for surviving, for speaking, and for strengthening our collective resolve.”

Meanwhile, Dhurandhar has been making waves with its performances and screen time. Directed and written by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar features a powerhouse cast including Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, and Rakesh Bedi.

Ranveer Singh plays Hamza Ali Mazari, a young man who infiltrates Rehman Dakait’s (Akshaye Khanna) gang while secretly working as a spy for India. He later marries Yalina (Sara Arjun), the daughter of politician Jameel Jamali (Rakesh Bedi), adding layers to the intense narrative inspired by real-life incidents such as Operation Lyari.
