1) Bike,mall & dam scenes are shot in chandigarh...
2) just today Bondi beach attacker in Australia is also a Pakistani so calling pak an epicenter is an understatement.
3) Omar Shahid Hamid (aide of S P Aslam) in a podcast admitted foreign intelligence officers infiltrating Lyari gangs
4) pahalgam happened because our security forces have to be right all the time & jihadis only one time.
5) in Modi's rule delhi parking lot blast is the only attack since 2014 in a major city, rest all 3 attacks were confined to j&k
6) currency plate scam did happen and so did demonetization just 2 years post modi came into power
7) talk to sensible leaders in pak for peace is as silly as it gets since pak army dictates the term in pak not any politician

Finally watched #Dhurandhar -and what a gripping watch and masterfully made film !!! After years, it felt a like a return of a big canvas film, with a riveting ensemble cast, a movie made for the theatre.

Here's what worked superbly

Performances- Knockout performance by Akshaye Khanna & Rakesh Bedi, complete intense surrender to character by Ranveer Singh, an understated and fine rendition of Doval by Madhavan, Arjun Rampal menacing as ISI, Sanjay Dutt filling the frame - and Gaurav Gera's dramatic softness as the juice-wallah asset -

Set Design & Detailing - for an Indian film maker to produce a film set almost entirely in Karachi is not easy. The settings, political rallies, bazaars recreated with effective detail

Music- A big hero of the film- cant get enough of it- repurposing and remixing old clasics, techno rap meets qawaalis and fresh, foot tappping songs all designed to trigger viral Shararat at a whole year of weddings

Finally, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING against Indian Muslims in the movie. The film is about Pakistan's patronage of terrorism. And we have all lived that as Indians for years on end. Conflating an adversary like Pakistan with India's Muslims is an insult to our own people. Btw I watched the movie with, among others, two Muslim friends who enjoyed it as much as I did.

Tiny points - I did not love the love angle in the film -expected it to be strategic, not Ishq- and because of the intercutting of real footage and fiction (very powerful tool btw) some parts of the movie will send you back to your research books to check timelines & details-but its a MOVIE, not a documentary !!!!

And as movies go- it is an absolutely compelling, mazedaar and riveting watch - larger than life as movies were once meant to be- Congratulations, many, @AdityaDharFilms
and team .
