In an industry often driven by formulas and familiar tropes, filmmaker Priyadarshan believes Aditya Dhar has rewritten the rules with the Dhurandhar franchise. Calling it nothing short of a “historic revolution,” the veteran director has credited Dhar’s conviction for the massive and unconventional success of the spy action saga.
Unlike typical Bollywood blockbusters that thrive primarily on mass appeal, Dhurandhar has managed to strike a rare balance—winning over both audiences and industry insiders. From actors to filmmakers, the film has sparked admiration across the board, positioning itself as one of the most influential Hindi film projects in recent times.
Priyadarshan, who has been vocal in his praise since the franchise’s first installment released in December 2025, emphasized that the film’s triumph lies in its fearless storytelling. He pointed out that Dhar’s journey is a testament to the idea that success is not dictated by industry norms, but by a filmmaker’s belief in their vision.
“Today, Aditya is motivating me. I never taught him anything, but he learnt while working. He is motivating me through his work,” Priyadarshan said during a recent interaction with Hindustan Times.
The admiration carries a deeper personal connection. Before making a name for himself as a director, Aditya Dhar worked closely with Priyadarshan as a dialogue writer on films like Aakrosh and Tezz. Reflecting on that journey, Priyadarshan’s words underline how far Dhar has come—from being part of the writing team to leading what many now consider a game-changing cinematic movement.
Perhaps the most striking part of Priyadarshan’s praise is his comparison of Dhar’s legacy to the makers of Sholay—a film widely regarded as one of Indian cinema’s greatest milestones. By invoking Sholay, he suggests that Dhurandhar could achieve a similar cultural and historical impact in the years to come.
As Bollywood continues to evolve, Dhurandhar stands as proof that risk-taking and originality still hold the power to reshape the industry.
