Dhurandhar movie review

Cool 😎 — here’s an updated, emoji-filled blog-style breakdown of Dhurandhar covering all the points you asked for:

🎯 Storyline

Dhurandhar is a 2025 Indian spy-action thriller directed by Aditya Dhar. (Wikipedia)
The plot begins in the backdrop of the 1999 IC-814 hijacking and the 2001 Parliament attack. The Indian Intelligence Chief (Ajay Sanyal) plans a high-risk mission to infiltrate and dismantle a major terrorist/underworld network operating out of Karachi. (The Indian Express)
For this, he recruits a 20-year-old man from Punjab — a troubled soul who was imprisoned for a revenge-driven crime. The plan is to mold him into a secret weapon capable of penetrating the ruthless underworld. (The Indian Express)
The film navigates through his transformation, the dangerous mission, underworld politics, betrayals, identity, moral dilemmas, and covert operations. It’s gritty, intense, and layered — more than a simple action show. (FilmiBeat)

🎟️ Rating (Censor & Viewers)

The film has been certified “A” (Adults Only) by the certification board, due to strong violence and content. (The Indian Express)
Its runtime is 214 minutes (3 hours 34 minutes) — one of the longest in recent Bollywood history. (Wikipedia)
Viewer and early reactions are mixed — many praise the scale, action and performances, but some feel the length and heavy themes make it a demanding watch. (This is based on early reviews/ reactions.) (Hindustan Times)
