Shatrughan Sinha Calls Ranveer Singh-Led Dhurandhar ‘Commercial Mastrepiece’; Questions, “What ‘Propaganda’ Film?”

Released in December, Dhurandhar stormed the box office and quickly emerged as one of Hindi cinema’s biggest commercial successes ever. Backed by strong storytelling, packed theatres, and repeat audiences, the high-octane action thriller dominated ticket windows across India and overseas, cementing its place among the most talked-about Bollywood releases of the year.

Amid the ongoing conversation around the film, veteran actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha stepped in with a strong endorsement. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he dismissed claims labelling the film as “propaganda” and instead shared an enthusiastic review celebrating its storytelling, performances, and technical craft. “Wow! Just happened to see the most talked about film an absolute masterpiece ‘Dhurandhar’. What ‘propaganda’ film??? A film is a film is a film. It’s a great film, gripping interesting & full of entertainment, made with sincerity. The sets too have been created beautifully in Bangkok, Thailand (depicting Pakistan) in a very realistic manner.”

The senior actor further added, “Technically brilliant, with great editing. The cinematographer deserves applause for his exquisite work. Kudos to the entire supremely talented cast & crew who have made this film a visual delight! Everyone stands out superbly.” Praising Ranveer Singh and the entire cast he said, “The one and only Ranveer Singh @RanveerOfficial fits the bill & is an outstanding, worthy son @duttsanjay of the most worthy father, late & great #SunilDutt is brilliant, our dear great #VinodKhanna’s son #AkshayeKhanna now creates his own identity by portraying an extraordinary role & leaves an extremely lasting impression with his flawless performance, ably & aptly directed by #AdityaDhar & rightly marketed through YouTube, which highlights it.”

Shatrughan Sinha On His Love For Dhurandhar

Sinha also voiced out his love for the music of the film, “The icing on the cake, certainly, is our dear friend #RakeshBedi who has won our hearts with a wonderful & amazing role with a fine balancing act which only he could have done. Music & choreography have brought revolutionary in cinema; especially Shararat & Ishq Jalakar – Karvaan are euphoric, foot-tapping with great repeat value. Also, in a powerful cameo portrayal, is our charming @saumyatandon, who stands out.”

Sinha’s endorsement goes beyond simple praise, positioning the film as a visual and entertainment triumph and dismissing the propaganda label outright.
