r/Dhurandhar

Hi, so Samay Raina gave out free tickets, booked an entire theater for the movie Alpha and distributed the tickets for free.
But it still looks like the theater had a lot of empty seats. Lol

What's your first impression after watching the Dhurandhar teaser?

So, I literally watched someone post this video calling out Alpha for adding dance numbers in a spy film and poof gone in seconds. Anyone else notice how any criticism of this movie gets nuked instantly? Meanwhile they’re apparently fine paying every random content creator with a pulse to hype it up. Make it make sense.

Let’s talk facts for a second because the internet has receipt, they keep bringing Dhurandhar into every conversation and compare. I recently saw a post saying YRF surpassed Dhurandhar in box office but Dhurandhar did this with TWO films its combined worldwide haul is closing in on what it took SEVEN YRF Spy Universe movies (Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, Tiger 3, War 2, and now Alpha) over more than a decade to build. Two vs seven. And they still want us to believe Alpha is the moment. The confidence of a franchise that also apparently botched Alia’s arms in the promo photoshop trying to make her arms look bigger(genuinely, hire an intern who knows the clone stamp tool) is unmatched. Girl, just go to gym. Your thimble arms are visible in every promo video. Audience isn’t blind. How dumb do these people think Indian audience is?

Can we also talk about the casting logic here? Alia has that soft, girl-next-door energy great for Highway, great for Raazi, great for anything where she needs to look emotionally shattered in a car. Action hero who catches arrows with her bare arm? Not really the vibe. Meanwhile early reviews are already saying her expressions read flat much like a botoxed-stiff for a character who’s supposedly been through hell, so.

And of course because god forbid a spy movie just be a spy movie we get the mandatory bikini shots, slo-mo body pans, and a random dance number because apparently RAW agents workshop choreography between missions. Reviewers are literally pointing out the dialogue is so spoon-fed it makes you wonder if the writers think the audience has the collective IQ of a fern. One review even joked that a side character telling Alia’s Sita to “stop with the attitude” felt like the writer reviewing her own performance mid-movie 💀

Meanwhile Indian audiences have moved ON. We’re deep into Hollywood series, Korean thrillers, Spanish heist shows, Japanese anything; stuff with actual stakes and writing that doesn’t explain the plot to us like we’re five. The Dhurandhar numbers alone prove people want grounded and gritty, not green-screen theatrics and item songs disguised as spy tradecraft.

Genuinely hoping the industry takes the hint before we get Alpha 2: Now With More Slow-Mo.

By one and only KK. A humble attempt of covering this masterpiece, let me know in the comments if u like it.

The title has been given a lot of thought before being chosen. Here are some of the details you may or may not have missed.

1. Aditya Dhar's surname is a part of the title.

2. The name in Sanskrit translates to "one who bears a heavy burden steadily and silently" - an apt description for a spy who has infiltrated a neighbouring enemy nation with the aim of breaking its terrorism syndicate.

3. One of the thousand sacred names of Lord Narasimha (the lion-headed avatar of Lord Vishnu) - Jaskirat's Alias (Hamza), "Babbar Sher" reference, his looks, his physique and even paintings of Lions are shown throughout the movie depicting the fine link between Man and God taking up a ferocious avatar to uphold Dharma

4. The most common definition of Dhurandhar is "an expert, master, or stalwart in a specific field" which again points towards what a person has to be to commit infiltration and espionage against an enemy nation

PEAK DETAILING FOR A REASON !!!
