It's a great film, gripping, interesting & full of entertainment, made with sincerity. The sets too have been created beautifully in Bangkok, Thailand (depicting Pakistan) in a very realistic manner."
He continued, "Technically brilliant, with great editing. The cinematographer deserves applause for his exquisite work. Kudos to the entire supremely talented cast & crew who have made this film a visual delight! Everyone stands out superbly. The one and only Ranveer Singh @RanveerOfficial fits the bill & is an outstanding, worthy son @duttsanjay of the most worthy father, late & great #SunilDutt. He is brilliant. Our dear great #VinodKhanna's son #AkshayeKhanna now creates his own identity by portraying an extraordinary role & leaves an extremely lasting impression with his flawless performance, ably & aptly directed by #AdityaDhar & rightly marketed through YouTube, which highlights it."
"The icing on the cake, certainly, is our dear friend #RakeshBedi, who has won our hearts with a wonderful & amazing role with a fine balancing act which only he could have done. Music & choreography have brought revolution in cinema; especially Shararat & Ishq Jalakar - Karvaan are euphoric, foot-tapping with great repeat value. Also, in a powerful cameo portrayal, is our charming @saumyatandon, who stands out," added Shatrughan Sinha.
He concluded by calling Dhurandhar a 'role model' now in cinema, and praised the brilliant performances. He called the Aditya Dhar directorial an "unforgettable cinematic feat."
