Pankaj Saran’s Acclaim for ‘Dhurandhar’
Former Deputy National Security Advisor of India, Pankaj Saran, has praised Aditya Dhar’s latest release, Dhurandhar The Revenge . Speaking with news agency ANI, he called it a new benchmark for Indian cinema. He highlighted the professional execution and authentic depiction of real incidents in the movie, describing it as an appropriate use of Aditya’s “artistic” approach to meet global filmmaking standards.
Authenticity and Global Standards
He also compared the film with past Hollywood war movies and praised Dhurandhar’s director for creating a movie which matches the standards of global filmmaking. “You know, we’ve grown up with seeing all kinds of war movies, but they were so amateurish. This one is really professional. So now, when it comes to the actual film, I mean, look, a lot of these incidents, names, people are real, are true and we’ve grown up in an era when we were fed with Hollywood films which would make caricatures of Nazis, of the Russians, and create that enemy image, and really challenge your imagination, and you’d buy it all,” he added.
Artistic License in Filmmaking
“So I think it’s fine if the director has decided to use artistic license to exaggerate a particular story, and it’s all based on real incidents. I think it needs no justification because it is pretty much in keeping with the culture of movie-making globally,” he concluded.
Pankaj Saran’s high praise positions ‘Dhurandhar The Revenge’ as a significant achievement in Indian cinema. Its blend of realism and artistic license seems to have resonated strongly, setting a new standard for future productions.
