Akshayekhanna has always been my fav and this film is proof why. Actor Madhavan, bloody mad grace, strength, and dignity. But man bolbedibol, what you did was phenomenal, what an ACT, brilliant. A huge round of applause for everyone, especially the makeup and prosthetics department. I cant wait for Part 2, he added.

Responding warmly to Hrithik’s praise-filled second post, Aditya Dhar wrote, Deeply humbled by your love for DHURANDHAR, Hrithik Sir. Every actor and every department gave more than 100 percent, and your appreciation is a huge boost for the whole team. Thank you for celebrating their craft. Part 2 is coming and we’ll try our best to live up to this encouragement.
Hrithik took to his Instagram Stories to pen a note, saying, I love cinema, I love people who climb into a vortex and let the story take control, spin them, shake them until what they want to say is purged out of them onto that screen. DHURANDHAR is an example of that. Loved the storytelling. Its cinema.
I may disagree with the politics of it, and argue about the responsibilities us filmmakers should bear as citizens of the world. Nevertheless, I cant ignore how much I loved and learned from this one as a student of cinema. Amazing, the War 2 actor added.
