A Benchmark in Ranveer Singh’s Career
By placing Hamza above Ranveer’s acclaimed performances in Padmaavat, Gully Boy, Bajirao Mastani, and 83, Karan Johar has positioned Dhurandhar as a turning point in the actor’s journey. Many critics have echoed the same, calling the role one of Ranveer’s most nuanced and transformative to date.
Directed and co-produced by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar draws inspiration from real covert operations linked to India’s RAW. Released on December 5, 2025, the film stars Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and Sara Arjun alongside Ranveer.
