Aditya Dhar's 'Dhurandhar' is busy smashing records at the box office. The film might have left the critics and some celebs divided over its "facts" and the "politics" of it, but it has no dearth of cash flowing in. Amid all the noise and chatter around the film, Dhruv Rathee dropped a video slamming the film.
The famous YouTuber called the film "dangerous propaganda." In a nearly 30-minute YouTube video, he emphasized the film being "misleading" by adding facts with fiction.
"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 had said.
Dhar's re-shared post
"Director of the film Dhurandhar, Aditya Dhar, has made a false claim and tried to spread nonsense propaganda through his film," he further said in the video.
Now, Aditya Dhar has re-shared a post calling Rathee out. While the 'Uri' director didn't address Rathee's claims directly, he re-shared a post that mentioned how a YouTuber tried to criticize it but was dismissed.
"History is being rewritten in Indian cinema. By men & women who have fire in their hearts & love for their country. They wanted to tell a story to their country people. The best part of the box office success of Dhurandhar is that it's organic," the post re-shared by Aditya read.
"All those crying "corporate bookings" in the week of release have suddenly become silent now. A video maker tried to criticise it recently & got swept away by a wave of criticism against him. Dhurandhar is a craze today. A tsunami which will sweep away any other release in its path. A tsunami which will roll into 2026. It is not going to stop soon," the note added.
When it comes to the box office, Dhurandhar has been flying at an unimaginable speed. The film has crossed Rs 800 crore and doesn't seem to show any signs of slowing down.
