Preity Zinta praises Dhurandhar
On her Facebook account, Preity wrote a long note praising Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s movie Dhurandhar. She wrote, “Today was a fun day. After a long time I saw a movie in a theatre by myself. The afternoon show was Packed & WOW what a ride it was ! It’s probably one of the best films I have seen in a long time. Raw & real, adorned with flawless performances by Ranveer Singh , Akshaye, Sanjay Dutt , R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal , Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera and every other actor. Loved the soulful n heart thumping music & most of all LOVED the direction by Aditya Dhar. So hard and yet, with so much heart. This is not a film. It’s a love letter to every Unknown Man, Woman & Patriot who has stood in harm’s way to protect our country 🇮🇳.”
