Dhruv Rathee's Dhurandhar Review Got Views Because Of Us, Says Ranveer Singh's Co-star

YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, known for his commentary on social and political and issues, dropped a fiery video after claiming he would “destroy” Bollywood’s “Rs 300 crore propaganda” Dhurandhar. Slamming the Aditya Dhar–Ranveer Singh film as “vahiyat,” he questioned its portrayal of real-life-inspired events and said that the fictionalised narrative tries too hard to pass off as true. Rathee labelled the film a “well-made propaganda.” While the makers have maintained a dignified silence, actor Naveen Kaushik, who plays Donga in the film, has reacted to the viral video.'Dhruv Rathee's Dhurandhar Review Got Views Because Of Us'Ranveer's co-star told Screen, “He is an opinionated person. I am associated with the film, I don’t agree with him obviously.”“He

got some views because of us, congratulations,” he added.Dhruv Rathee's Dhurandhar ReviewIn his video, the YouTuber reportedly said, “Well-made propaganda is more dangerous. Films like The Taj Story and The Bengal Films were not dangerous, kyunki wo bakwaas films thi (because they were bad films). But Dhurandhar is an engaging film.”He added, “The problem is that Dhurandhar repeatedly shows you it’s inspired by real events. It says so in the trailer. It shows the real footage from the 26/11 attacks. The real audio recordings of conversations between the terrorists and their handlers have been used. It also uses real-life gangsters and cops based in Pakistan’s Lyari.”For those unversed, the film follows an Indian spy who enters Karachi, Pakistan, and infiltrates terror groups to gather intelligence. From India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval to Lyari’s infamous gangster Rehman Baloch and ISI chief Major Iqbal, the movie features several characters inspired by real-life figures.Directed, written and co-produced by Aditya Dhar, the film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun and Akshaye Khanna.
