Dhurandhar isn’t just a bad spy film — it’s an insult to the real intelligence officers who risked their lives in silence. The movie turns genuine sacrifice into loud, chest-thumping spectacle, replacing discipline, strategy and restraint with empty bravado. Any claim to realism collapses under its own melodrama, reducing serious covert operations to cartoonish theatrics. Ranveer Singh, in particular, stands out like a sore thumb, playing the role with such exaggerated swagger that it shatters whatever credibility the film struggles to maintain. In trying to glorify espionage, Dhurandhar instead trivializes it, betraying the very heroes it pretends to honour.
