Since its debut in December 2025, audiences have been lauding Murali Kanth's Dhandoraa for its compelling narrative. The latest admirer of the Telugu film
is Jr NTR. The War 2 star took to social media to share his thoughts on the film, commending director Murali Kanth, actor Sivaji, and the entire cast and crew of Dhandoraa for "being involved in such an extraordinary film." The superstar's encouraging and gracious remarks about this independent film are sure to enhance its visibility now that it is available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Set against the backdrop of rural Telangana, Dhandoraa draws inspiration from a real-life event that occurred in August 2019 in Vellore, Tamil Nadu.
Jr NTR commends Dhandoraa's cast and crew after viewing the film
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the South star expressed his views on Dhandoraa. He stated, "Just finished watching #Dhandoraa. Profoundly thought-provoking and impactful. Exceptional performances by Sivaji garu, Navdeep, Nandu, Ravi Krishna, and Bindu Madhavi throughout… Hats off to director Murali Kanth garu for the powerful writing and for bringing such an authentic story to life. Ravindra Banerjee garu, hats off to you for supporting this initiative. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew for their contributions to such an extraordinary film."
Written and helmed by Murali Kanth, the Telugu film features Sivaji, Navdeep, Shree Nandu, Ravi Krishna, Bindu Madhavi, Mounica, Manika, and Raadhya. The plot of Dhandoraa centers on a romantic relationship between two young individuals from different castes. The girl's father, portrayed by Sivaji, disapproves of their relationship, leading to a tragic honor killing when the village elders murder the young man.
The young woman struggles to cope with the loss of her beloved and ultimately takes her own life. These harrowing events set the tone for the film. The 135-minute feature also follows a young man who returns to his hometown to pay his last respects to his deceased father.

After appearing in War 2 alongside Hrithik Roshan last year and making his Bollywood debut, Jr NTR is redirecting his attention back to his South Indian projects. He is set to star in Prashanth Neel's Dragon and is wrapping up Koratala Siva's Devara 2.
