Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has been one of the prolific names in Indian filmmaking for more than two decades, his name is attached so some of the most thought provoking cinema like Satya, Udaan, Black Friday, Dev.D and many more. The actor-producer- director recently took to Letterboxd to share his review of Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar . He wrote , “A spy can not be a spy if he doesnt have hate and angst against the enemy state . A soldier also can not be soldier if He doesnt have angst against the enemy state .On those two counts I have no issues.” But he also went on to mention the issues he has with the film , he states , ” I have two sequences that I have a problem with Madhavan saying – ‘ek din aisa ayega jab jo desh ke bare me koi sochaga and another in the end when Ranveer says ye naya India hai. Take those two asides it’s a good film ”
He also went on to praise Aditya Dhar for his work, his vision and his politics , he writes , ” I have known Aditya Dhar since his national award film Boond. It’s his politics . Genuine politics . Agree or disagree with it. Man is honest. Not an opportunist like others. All his films are about Kashmir . He is a Kashmiri pandit who has suffered. Either you argue with him or let him be. ” “Fimmakin is top notch . If you love The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty or House of Dynamite, they are Oscar winning propaganda films about the USA. I ignored the two propaganda dialogues and loved the filmmaking and stubbornness of the film maker.” Kashyap also went on to mention that Dhurandhar is hi favourite Ranveer Singh performance and called him very secure as an actor. And on parting note he added that if as a filmmaker if he has to argue about the politics of the film then he will call Aditya Dhar and discuss it with him but nonetheless he called Dhurandhar a significant film.
