Aditya Dhar reacts to Hrithik Roshan’s review of ‘Dhurandhar’ after he says he doesn’t agree with the film’s politics: ‘Part 2 is coming, we’ll try our best to…’ |

‘Dhurandhar’ director Aditya Dhar has reacted after Hrithik Roshan shared a glowing second review of the film—posted just hours after his earlier, more nuanced take, in which he mentioned disagreeing with the film’s politics. The quick shift caught fans’ attention, especially because Hrithik did not address or clarify his first critique while lavishing praise on the performances in his new post.Sharing his updated reaction on X and Instagram, Hrithik wrote, “Still can’t get DHURANDHAR out of my mind. @AdityaDharFilms you are an incredible maker man. @RanveerOfficial the silent to the fierce what a journey and so damn consistent.”He continued with appreciation for the cast: “#akshayekhanna has always been my fav and this film is proof why. @ActorMadhavan bloody mad grace, strength and dignity!! But man @bolbedibol what you did was phenomenal..what an ACT, brilliant!! A huge big round of applause for everyone especially the makeup and prosthetics dept! I can’t wait for part 2!!!”This enthusiastic praise contrasted sharply with Hrithik’s earlier post on Wednesday evening. In that one, he had said, “I love cinema, I love people who climb into a vortex and let the story take control… DHURANDAR is an example of that. Loved the storytelling. It’s cinema.” He added, however, “I may disagree with the politics of it, and argue about the responsibilities us filmmakers should bear as citizens of the world. Nevertheless, can’t ignore how loved and learnt from this one as a student of cinema.”Responding to the latest appreciation, Aditya Dhar wrote warmly, “Deeply humbled by your love for #DHURANDHAR, @iHrithik Sir. Every actor and every department gave more than 100%, and your appreciation is a huge boost for the whole team. Thank you for celebrating their craft. Part 2 is coming… and we’ll try our best to live up to this encouragement.”Along with thanking Hrithik, Dhar’s message also confirmed what fans had been hoping to hear, which is an update regarding the sequel. ‘Dhurandhar’, written, directed and co-produced by Dhar, features Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi. The film has already crossed the Rs 230crore mark worldwide within just five days of release, building strong momentum ahead of its second chapter.
