Vikas Divyakirti, ex-IPS and founder of Drishti IAS, has shared a nuanced take on the ongoing conversation around Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar franchise, starring Ranveer Singh, addressing questions around propaganda, creative liberty and the social impact of cinema.

The film follows a familiar commercial structure and unfolds in a straightforward manner. It doesn’t push boundaries or aim for novelty, instead choosing a safe and conventional approach. While the title suggests intensity, the treatment is relatively restrained and suitable for family audience.
