Dhurandhar review

Our in-house critic gave the film a rating of 3 stars. An excerpt from the review reads, "From the 1999 IC-814 Kandahar hijacking to the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, Dhurandhar ambitiously tackles some of India’s most volatile national emergencies and pulls back the curtain on the masterminds behind the human bombs and gunmen. But the writing slips in the second half. The climax feels more like an extended warm-up than a payoff, and the ending leaves you craving a far stronger punch. Tighter editing could have easily shaved off minutes, maybe even scenes."
