Anupam Kher shares his views on Dhurandhar success

Anupam Kher shares his views on Dhurandhar success. Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar turned out to be a massive hit at the box office. The film directed by Aditya Dhar is releasing in two parts.

In the meantime, Anupam Kher sharing this thoughts spoke about Dhurandhar success. He said “I don’t have a role in this film. I am not connected to anything. But I don’t know why, with the success of this film, my heart is very peaceful. And I have felt peace and pride. I have felt pride. His great success.”

He said, “For example, Godfather was a landmark film. Sholay was a landmark film. Mughal-e-Azam was a landmark film… And the films I have not mentioned is just because they are not coming to my mind. I am not making this video as a historian. I am making it as a cinema-goer…. Such films give a new perspective to cine-goers.”

Anupam Kher continued “I like Aditya Dhar. Not only because he is a Kashmiri, or that he comes from a family of people who were persecuted, or with his work, or how he has shown what success is all about, for his courage. But as a filmmaker because he has not followed any pattern or formula. No formula. Just conviction."

He added  “There was a clique of people who were behind proving propaganda to the film. This is the same clique who tried to prove propaganda in my film The Accidental Prime Minister, and they were successful in doing that. The same people tried to prove propaganda in The Kashmir Files, and they were succeeded by 30%. That’s because they started a debate. Dhurandhar is a big slap on such people’s faces.”

Anupam Kher said “The film has slapped them, saying ‘Don’t teach us what propaganda is. You are not going to decide what is a propaganda film’. Don’t make us feel small: This is what the audience is saying to people like that.”

He shared “I am so proud and happy about the success of the film, and about the film shutting down so many people’s thought processes.They tried a lot… What an amazing journey you had. And in fact, this year belongs to you, my friend. Not only because of Dhurandhar, but Yami’s films too from Article 370 to Haqq.”

Aditya Dhar reacted saying  “Wow. This truly means so much, sir. Such pure emotion and generosity in your words… And to be mentioned in the same breath as those films is an honour I do not take lightly at all."

“The line you said “Don’t make us feel small, that is what the audience is saying,” holds so true in today’s time. It has always been my intention as a film maker. Words like these push me to do better. I hope to keep making films that are honest, fearless and hopefully stand the test of time. Truly overwhelmed right now.”
