It seems, Finally, Bollywood has EVOLVED! Thank God! And Dhurandhar is an Example of that. Just watched it Today in the Theatre. And I won’t mind watching it again Tomorrow as well. And as I’ve always written, even a pinch of Trance (both vocal / non-vocal, especially non-vocal) can alter the aesthetics of any movie! And that happened in Dhurandhar as well. Further, there’s not a single scene wherein one would complain about exaggeration of anything. Nope! As every scene of this flick is worth a watch. Before going to Theatre, I asked myself, that, can I sit for that long, means almost 4 hours, including the Theatre’s Ads? But, as I said herein above, I can watch once again, maybe I’ll go tomorrow as well. Why? There’re few reasons:
1. Since 2001, I’ve watched hardly couple of Bollywood Flicks in Theatres’, as, just alike MTv, Channel V, VH1 etc. Fell or Lost their Charm; Bollywood too had Nothing great to offer! Maybe the Recruits matter after all! SORRY! But it seems, Dhurandhar now has Re-Defined and Re-Imagined Bollywood! What Bollywood supposed to be! What Bollywood should be! And what Bollywood ought to have been -> In the Context of Cinematography, Music, Acting, and, Storytelling!
2. This flick is in sync with the reality. And it is ultra HYPER-REALISTIC, that it reminded me of FAUDA, wherein you cannot differentiate between whether you’re watching a Movie or a Real Documentary.
3. I heard in the mainstream that this is the first Bollywood movie that has taken a Quantum Leap, which I can say with Surety is also a -> FACT!
4. It demonstrates that why the role of Casting Director is of utmost important! As the Cast in this movie is in 100% Sync with the Characters played.
Great Music! Thumbs Up to the Cinematographer! And Great Acting! This is truly a sign that Bollywood has now Evolved, Upgraded, and, would Re-calibrate their Recruits properly as well henceforth; rather, going back to their Unoriginal Grumpy Past!
All said and done -> A Great Watch! And A Must Watch! 😊
