The conversation around Dhurandhar continues months after its theatrical release, with fresh criticism now coming from tech entrepreneur Sabeer Bhatia.

Hotmail co-founder Sabeer Bhatia slams Ranveer Singh\u2019s Dhurandhar, calls it \u201cdisgusting\u201d ahead of sequel release<\/p>\n

Directed by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh, the espionage drama released in theatres in December last year and later began streaming on Netflix in January. While the film has been a commercial juggernaut, it has also sparked polarised reactions online.<\/p>\n

\u201cEngineered to Trigger You\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sharing a video review, Bhatia captioned his post: \u201cMovies today aren\u2019t made to emotionally empower you. They\u2019re engineered to trigger you. Be cautious!\u201d<\/p>\n

In the video, he said, \u201cI just watched Dhurandhar. Emotionally charged, sensationalism, drama \u2014 but where is the intellectual component in this? All it is spreading is the message of revenge and hate. It\u2019s disgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further raised concerns about the potential impact of such narratives on younger viewers. \u201cWe don\u2019t want our kids to be emotional reactors. We want the younger generation to be logical thinkers. Zero creativity. I know it\u2019s a movie, but I don\u2019t think there is any entertainment in watching senseless killings and revenge. It promotes a certain line of thinking that is terrible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bhatia also criticised what he perceived as the film\u2019s broad portrayal of geopolitical themes. \u201cIt paints entire countries and institutions with a broad brush. Not going into nuances of what is really going on in the minds of people. Individuals are good or bad, not countries. I hope you get this message and reject the movie Dhurandhar wholeheartedly,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

Dhurandhar follows the story of an Indian spy who infiltrates a Baloch gang operating in Pakistan\u2019s Lyari. Alongside Ranveer Singh, the film also stars Akshaye Khanna and Sanjay Dutt in pivotal roles. The franchise is set to expand with Dhurandhar: The Revenge, scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19. The sequel will reportedly clash at the box office with Toxic.<\/p>\n
