What Ranbir said

Ranbir said, “The last, current favourite movie was Dhurandhar. Absolutely loved that film. I think the entire cast and crew smashed it. Really good times at the movies.”

Dhurandhar has received widespread praise from several prominent Bollywood celebrities. From Karan Johar to Ram Gopal Varma, many took to social media to express their opinion on the film. Earlier, Alia Bhatt’s production house, Eternal Sunshine Productions, congratulated Dhurandhar for scripting history at the box office.

Eternal Sunshine Productions took to Instagram to celebrate the film’s success. The post read, “It’s the voice of today’s India. It’s the choice of today’s India. It’s based on a chapter in history. And now it’s the number one chapter in India’s cinema history. Cheers to Dhurandhar. And three cheers to the ENTIRE team. You not only created waves —you brought the high tide back to the theatres. If this is what part one did in winter, imagine what part two will bring in spring!!!”
