Hrithik Roshan took to his Instagram Story and dropped a detailed review of Dhurandhar.

He wrote, “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. DHURANDAR is an example of that. Loved the storytelling. It's cinema."

The War 2 actor went on to share how he enjoyed the film's execution, though he doesn't believe in its political stance.

“I may disagree with the politics of it, and argue about the responsibilities us filmmakers should bear as citizens of the world. Nevertheless, can't ignore how I loved and learnt from this one as a student of cinema. Amazing,” he added.
