The growing cultural moment around Dhurandhar has found another powerful endorsement—this time from Vicky Kaushal. Early Friday, the actor added his stamp of approval to the film, joining a steadily expanding list of industry heavyweights rallying behind Aditya Dhar’s latest directorial venture.
Reposting the film’s poster on Instagram Stories, Vicky delivered a crisp, full-throated appreciation of Dhar’s world-building and storytelling command. “@adityadharfilms you beauty! What a mammoth task it must be for you and your team to pull off this Film with such conviction, finesse and first-rate world building… Hats off,” he wrote. He didn’t stop there. In a follow-up praise-filled note, he celebrated the performances of Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and the entire ensemble—calling their work “absolute peak performances” and labeling the film “technically brilliant” and “supremely engaging.”
The endorsement feels almost like a homecoming moment. Vicky and Aditya share a blockbuster history with Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019), a film that reshaped both their careers and cultural conversation. With Dhurandhar steering into similarly immersive, high-stakes terrain, fans have already begun drawing parallels—and formulating theories—about an emotional or stylistic continuum between the two projects.
What makes Dhurandhar particularly interesting is the divide it has generated. Critics have offered mixed reactions, noting both the film’s scale and its structural choices. Audiences, however, are writing a different story. Viewer response has been overwhelmingly positive, and celebrity endorsements are amplifying that energy across social media.
In the past week alone, Hrithik Roshan, Anupam Kher, Akshay Kumar, Smriti Irani, and several other notable voices have collectively shaped a groundswell of appreciation for Dhar’s film. Their reactions paint Dhurandhar as not just another release, but a cultural moment—one where technical precision meets ambitious narrative design.
For now, the conversation around Dhurandhar shows no signs of slowing. With the industry leaning in, and the audience already on board, the film is cementing its position as the season’s most talked-about cinematic experience—whether you agree with the critics or not.
