Karan Johar: says he has “much respect” for Aditya Dhar and calls Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar “outstanding.”
Karan Johar: Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, has emerged as one of the most talked-about movies. The box office has been dominated by the action entertainer. Karan Johar has joined the increasing chorus of those who are praising the movie by describing it as “outstanding.” Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, and more actors are also featured in the movie.
Karan Johar posted the image on his Instagram stories with the caption, “OUTSTANDING!!!!! Aditya Dhar, Ranveer Singh, and Shashwat Sachdeva (my favorite @ranveersingh performance) deserve a great deal of appreciation. Congratulations to @officialjiostudios and the whole cast and crew. Farhan Akhtar lavished the movie with accolades and referred to it as a masterpiece.
Agastya Nanda is praised by Hrithik Roshan Upon seeing the trailer for Ikkis, I thought, “You got me cheering.”

After seeing Dhurandhar, the actor—who is renowned for having a keen taste in movies—shared a contemplative message. “I adore movies, and I adore people who get into a whirlpool and allow the narrative to take over, spin, and shake them until their words are expelled onto the screen,” Hrithik wrote. One illustration of such is DHURANDAR. I adored the narrative. It’s a movie. In a rare and open acknowledgment, Hrithik also said that he could not deny the film’s artistic genius, even if he disagrees with its political viewpoint. I may disagree with its politics and debate the obligations that filmmakers have to the global community. However, as a film student, I can’t deny how much I enjoyed and learned from this one. “Amazing,” he continued.
Fans have responded favorably to his evaluation, praising his readiness to distinguish between ideological disagreements and artistic worth.
Ayushmann Khurrana posted the poster alongside Ranveer Singh on his Instagram stories, writing, “Bollywood just peaked with #Dhurandhar @adityadharfilms take a bow! @ranveersingh, kya stud hai tu. “Congratulations.” Akshay Kumar posted his review on his X Twitter, writing, “I’m blown away after watching Dhurandhar.” What a compelling story, and @AdityaDharFilms, you’ve got it just right. We need to tell our tales in a brutal manner, and I’m thrilled that the movie is receiving the praise it merits from viewers.” Aditya Dhar responded later as well, saying, “Thanks, paaji.”
Dhurandhar tells the tale of Hamza Ali Mazari, an enigmatic young man who poses as a member of Rehman Dakait’s gang in order to enter Pakistan’s underground. As an undercover Indian agent collecting information from within the enemy network, it is subsequently discovered that he married the daughter of a senior politician. Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjun, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Ranveer Singh, and Arjun Rampal are among the film’s star-studded cast members. Dhurandhar, which was released on December 5, has already revealed that its sequel would be released on March 19, 2026.
