‘Take a bow’: MP Priyanka Chaturvedi hails ‘Dhurandhar’, calls it ‘new age cinema’

MUMBAI: Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi is all praise for Ranveer Singh’s latest release ‘Dhurandhar’, describing the movie as a “new age cinema.”

Taking to her X account, Priyanka Chaturvedi appreciated the performance of Akshaye Khanna and Ranveer Singh while comparing the film’s success to Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Chhaava’.

“So after a gruelling winter session took time out to watch Dhurandhar, because its been in the eye of the storm. I rarely go to the theatre and last I went was for Pathaan and Chaava. Why? In case of Pathaan to make a point against the boycott calls and being an SRK fan but in the case of Chaava and Dhurandhar it was for their theme”.

“Interesting to see Akshaye Khanna playing a key role in both movies, with total conviction to the retelling of a problematic past and making peace as well as moving on,” added Priyanka.

The Shiv Sena (UBT) MP praised Ranveer Singh and Vicky Kaushal’s performance in ‘Chhaava’ and ‘Dhurandhar’ respectively.

“Both Vicky Kaushal in Chhava and Ranveer Singh in Dhurandhar are compelling and committed to their portrayal of the roles they represent. Having called out all shades of bigotry and hate that exist on either side, I can say that both Chhaava and Dhurandhar are new-age cinema which we must welcome. Yes, blood, gore, violence are a lived reality, trying to see it through rose-tinted glasses gives you multiple layers of whitewashing, time we saw the reality for what it is.”

“Take a bow Aditya Dhar, Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna. PS: Well Done Aditya Raj Kaul,” wrote Priyanka Chaturvedi.
