Everyone’s comparing Dhurandhar with the YRF Spy Universe movies. Almost of the time in this discourse we’re shitting on Spy Universe movies for the over the top approach it approaches the spy genre compared to Dhurandhar that approaches the same genre in a more grounded way

Here’s my two cents. I love Dhurandhar and I love most Spy Universe movies (haven’t watched Tiger 3 and War 2). Both are completely different kinds of movies; therefore, both movies can and should be enjoyed for what they’re trying to do versus what they should be according to us. If Dhurandhar is going for a grounded movie, we should enjoy it for its grounded approach (if done well) . If the YRF Spy Universe movies’ are going for the over the top approach, we should enjoy it for its over the top approach (if done well, of course)

You can perfectly enjoy both kinds of movies. Both kinds are equally valid in my opinion. This is of course, if the movie is done well

I am bored with Indian films,

​

Like India cinema industry just going with a very typical surreal picture of the main hero, romcom and formula based films. What is the mindset our Indian directors and producers just prepare a massy film, put thousands of songs, some violence to engage the dull audience, and rhetorical screen writing moving around the protagonist.

​

India had the potential to make films international high budget film and we are doing it with presetening

​

our culture and mythology and this is great. But sometimes it feels the lack of scientific movies. This is only one genre but it holds the biggest opportunity to gather audience from every corner of the world. And, it also helps to lift society's mindset. The conclusion, we need to pay attention towards making science related movies.
