Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar is not just breaking records — it is rewriting box office history. The A-rated blockbuster has emerged as the highest-grossing Hindi film ever, even surpassing Baahubali 2: The Conclusion globally. Its massive success has created a ripple effect across the industry, with stars praising it. Joining the bandwagon is Shatrughan Sinha, who lauded the film’s technical finesse while slamming those calling it propaganda.
In his new post, Shatrughan wrote, “Wow! Just happened to see the most talked about film, an absolute masterpiece — Dhurandhar. What ‘propaganda’ film??? A film is a film is a film. It’s a great film, gripping, interesting and full of entertainment, made with sincerity. The sets too have been created beautifully in Bangkok, Thailand (depicting Pakistan) in a very realistic manner.”
