Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor has highlighted the often-overlooked heroes of filmmaking by praising the technicdigihunt behind the latest blockbuster, “Dhurandhar.” She refers to this film as a significant moment for Indian cinema.
In her Instagram stories, Shraddha expressed that the craft of technicdigihunt is often invisible in great films, yet it is their collective effort that imbues a film with its essence. She stated, “In the greatest films, the work of technicdigihunt is invisible. #Dhurandhar is a big moment for Indian cinema. Let’s make the technicdigihunt of this marvel visible and applaud them @castingchhabra. When every actor is so perfect, it starts at a perfectly chosen cast.”
Reflecting on the film’s impact, Shraddha emphasized that authenticity, power, and raw energy are never accidental. “When a film looks so authentic, badass, and powerful, it’s never by chance. It was created by @vik_now, @sainisjohray, @smriti.schauhan, @shivkumarpanicker, @preetishe. When you feel that ‘resonance’ and your pulse changes with every scene, there are master craftsmen in the audio dept making it happen @shashwatology, @bishwadeepchatterjee, @irshadkamilofficial. Needless to say, @adityadharfilms, @dhar_lokesh, and #JyotiDeshpande formed the bedrock to build this greatness on. #Dhurandhar,” she added.
The actress also expressed her excitement about the film in a previous note, finding it “truly terrible” that filmmaker Aditya Dhar is making people wait for “Part 2.” She wrote, “Truly terrible of Aditya Dhar to make a film like Dhurandhar. And then make us wait three months for Part 2. Don’t play with our emotions, prepone the release please. What a phenomenal experience. Subah shoot nahi hoti toh kasam se abhi hi dobara dekhne jaati,” mentioning that had she not had a morning shoot, she would have gone to watch the film again.
Shraddha also commented on the “rampant negative PR” against the film. “From Yami Gautam having to call out the rampant negative PR machinery to manufactured controversies, Dhurandhar endured it all and came out shining. No bad force can pull a good film down. In audiences, we trust.”
The film features a star-studded cast, including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Manav Gohil, Danish Pandor, Saumya Tandon, Gaurav Gera, and Naveen Kaushik.
“Dhurandhar” marks the first of a two-part series, unveiling an Indian intelligence mission that unfolds over ten years as an undercover agent infiltrates Karachi’s criminal and political realms to dismantle dangerous cross-border terror networks. The film is inspired by real-life events involving geopolitical tensions, such as the 1999 Indian plane hijack, the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, and the 2008 Mumbai attacks, along with covert operations undertaken by India’s R&AW related to Operation Lyari and the crackdown on gangs and criminal syndicates.
