Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar is no longer just a box office juggernaut — it’s turning into a full-blown industry favourite. Even before completing two weeks in theatres, the spy action thriller has stormed into the list of highest-grossing Indian films of all time, and the wave of admiration from within Bollywood shows no signs of slowing.
The latest voice to join the chorus is Preity Zinta, who watched the film solo in a packed afternoon show — and walked out visibly moved.
Preity Zinta’s Powerful Reaction
Taking to social media, Preity poured her heart out, calling Dhurandhar “one of the best films” she’s seen in a long time. She praised the film’s raw intensity, emotional depth, and flawless performances, singling out Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, and the supporting cast.
She also applauded the soulful yet heart-thumping music and saved her biggest praise for director Aditya Dhar, saying the film isn’t just cinema — it’s something far more personal.
“This is not a film. It’s a love letter to every unknown man, woman, and patriot who has stood in harm’s way to protect our country,” she wrote, adding that the film’s three-and-a-half-hour runtime flew by, and she’s already ready to watch it again.
Aditya Dhar’s Emotional Response
Clearly touched by Preity’s words, Aditya Dhar responded with a heartfelt message of gratitude. He said her reaction meant everything to the team, especially because Dhurandhar was made with deep conviction and respect for the unsung heroes it represents.
He also echoed her sentiment that the film belongs to the countless unnamed individuals who serve the nation quietly — a theme that has resonated strongly with audiences across the country.
A Film the Industry Can’t Stop Talking About
Preity now joins a growing list of celebrities — including Hrithik Roshan, Shraddha Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Smriti Irani, and others — who have publicly praised Dhurandhar. The performances, particularly Akshaye Khanna’s chilling presence and Ranveer Singh’s intensity, continue to dominate conversations online.
With its massive box office run and near-universal appreciation, the film has clearly struck a nerve.
What’s Next?
With anticipation already sky-high, fans are now counting down to Dhurandhar 2, which is slated to hit theatres on March 19, 2026.
If the first chapter is anything to go by, expectations for the sequel are only going one way — up.
