The highly anticipated action thriller 'Dhurandhar' has been making headlines for its gory trailer, which has left some viewers disturbed. However, content creator and political commentator Dhruv Rathee is not a fan of the film's extreme violence. In a scathing tweet, Rathee compared the trailer's graphic content to ISIS beheading videos, calling it 'entertainment'. He accused director Aditya Dhar of being 'unhinged' in his pursuit of money and criticized him for desensitizing young viewers to gore and torture. The trailer, which was launched at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai, features Ranveer Singh as an Indian spy in Pakistan, alongside a star-studded cast. However, Rathee's comments have sparked a debate on social media, with some fans defending the film's 'darkness' and 'atmosphere'. The Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC) has been urged to take action against the film's extreme violence. 'Dhurandhar' is set to release in theatres on December 5, but with Rathee's comments, the controversy surrounding the film is only just beginning. The film's trailer has sparked a heated discussion on social media, with some viewers praising its 'energy' and 'darkness' while others are calling for it to be censored. The film's cast, including Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, and Sanjay Dutt, has been promoting the film on social media, but Rathee's comments have put a spotlight on the film's graphic content. As the film's release date approaches, it remains to be seen how the controversy will affect its box office performance.
