Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has shattered box office records, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time. However, its success has been marred by controversy, with some critics labeling it a 'propaganda film.' Filmmaker Karan Johar has weighed in on the debate, expressing admiration for the film's unapologetic approach to storytelling. In a recent interaction, Karan praised Dhurandhar's unique narrative structure and internal focus, saying he appreciated the film's 'unabashed' politics. Karan Johar emphasized that disagreement is a natural part of cinema, and he wasn't offended by the film's ideological stance. He viewed the movie purely from a cinematic perspective, praising director Aditya Dhar for emerging as a 'strong and unique voice' in Indian cinema. This stance contrasts with some viewers who have criticized Dhurandhar for its politics. Despite the controversy, Dhurandhar continues to dominate the box office, with a total gross of ₹1329.40 crore. While the film's run has slowed down, it remains a commercial juggernaut. Karan Johar's comments join those of actor Hrithik Roshan, who earlier expressed his admiration for the film while acknowledging potential disagreements with its politics. The debate surrounding Dhurandhar's politics is likely to continue, but for now, the film remains a box office sensation.
