In a recent video, Dhruv Rathee, a popular YouTuber and political commentator, sparked controversy by calling Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar a 'dangerous propaganda' film. Rathee had criticized the movie for its excessive violence and what he believed were lies and falsehoods. The film, which stars Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, has been a huge success at the box office, earning over ₹900 crore worldwide since its release on December 5. However, Aditya Dhar seems to have taken a subtle swipe at Rathee by resharing a cryptic note on his Instagram Stories. The note, which appears to be a response to Rathee's criticism, reads: 'History is being rewritten in Indian cinema... A video maker tried to criticise it recently and got swept away by a wave of criticism against him.' The note also highlights the film's success, stating that Dhurandhar is a 'tsunami' that will 'sweep away any other release in its path.' Aditya Dhar's note seems to imply that the film's success is a testament to its authenticity and the passion of its creators. Dhruv Rathee had argued that well-made propaganda is more dangerous than poorly made films. However, Aditya Dhar's note suggests that the film's success is a result of its honesty and commitment to storytelling. The controversy surrounding Dhurandhar has sparked a heated debate about the role of media and the impact of films on society. While some have praised the film for its powerful performances and engaging storyline, others have criticized it for its alleged propaganda and excessive violence. With the film's second part scheduled for release on March 19, 2026, it remains to be seen how the controversy will affect its box office performance. One thing is certain, however: Dhurandhar has become a topic of discussion and debate in the Indian film industry.
