Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal shares his reaction after watching Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, praising Ranveer Singh, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun.

Aditya Dhar’s high-octane spy drama Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal, opened in cinemas on December 5 with a roaring start at the box office. The film reportedly collected Rs 27 crore on Day 1, drawing strong word-of-mouth from audiences. Among the latest to share his reaction is cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, who watched the film in theatres and posted an enthusiastic review on Instagram.

Chahal Calls ‘Dhurandhar’ a Pulse-Pounding Experience

Sharing photos from the screening along with stills from the film, Chahal penned a powerful note praising the team’s effort. He wrote, “घायल हूँ लेकिन घातक हूँ धुरंधर. If power had a pulse, it would sound like Dhurandhar.”

Calling director Aditya Dhar “the architect of it all,” Chahal continued, “Director Aditya Dhar, the architect of it all, precise, bold, and unafraid to scale big. He turns action into emotion and characters into impact.”

The cricketer also applauded Ranveer Singh’s riveting screen presence, noting, “Ranveer Singh, his acting is electric; he switches between silence, rage, and intensity with seamless precision. Every expression feels lived, not performed.”
