Smriti Irani Defends Dhurandhar, Praises Ranveer Singh’s Powerful Role

Smriti Irani Strongly Defends Dhurandhar and Praises Ranveer Singh for his Compelling Performance

Smriti Irani has come out to support Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, featuring talents such as Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, and R Madhavan. Speaking about the negative comments about the movie, she expressed that Dhurandhar shows the burden of actual stories related to giving up one's life for the country and serving it. Her words emphasized the brilliant emotional aspect of the movie and lauded the actors who portrayed its ideas so vividly.

A Tribute to Real Stories of Courage and Loss

In her detailed note, Irani described Dhurandhar as a reminder of lives lost in the line of duty. She said that anyone who has met families affected by conflict or terror attacks would not find the film controversial. By mentioning her visits to cremation grounds, refugee camps, and attack sites, she emphasized her opinion that the uproar over the movie is unjustified.

High Praise for Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, and R Madhavan

Irani praised the skills of the actors, labeling Akshaye Khanna’s emotional moments a “lesson in craft” and recognizing Ranveer Singh’s powerful screen presence. She also praised Arjun Rampal and appreciated the film’s music. 

Commenting on R Madhavan’s role, she said his performance carried a calm intensity, especially for viewers familiar with the legacy of Ajit Doval.

Team Dhurandhar Responds to Irani’s Support

The Dhurandhar team expressed gratitude for her message. R Madhavan said the appreciation “means the world,” calling the endorsement empowering. Casting director Mukesh Chhabra credited the film’s impact to a strong vision, a powerful script, and a committed director. He said the team was overwhelmed by the response from audiences across India.

Why Smriti Irani’s Defence Matters Now

Irani's comments come just as Dhurandhar is still doing wonderfully in theaters and has crossed the Indian box office collection of Rs. 180 crore. Her intervention makes the discussion about the film more political and emotional at the same time. The backing might sway the opinion of the public, particularly since the movie discusses through the lens of espionage themes that are closely related to national security. 

Along with its success and the argument going on, Dhurandhar now sets a new standard for spy films and defines a new chapter in Bollywood storytelling.
