Actor Shah Rukh Khan praised Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar film series following a recent interactive session on social media. The actor confirmed he has watched both parts of the series.
During an #AskSRK session, a user asked, “Have you seen Dhurandhar? #AskSRK (sic)”.
Shah Rukh replied, “Loved both the parts....fantastic by the whole team (sic)!!!”
Both instalments of the franchise feature Ranveer Singh in dual roles as Hamza Alia Mazari and Jaskirat Singh Rangi, with his performances and the movies' box-office metrics drawing notice from viewers.
Dhurandhar launched the franchise by introducing Jaskirat and setting up the main story arc. According to trade tracking platform Sacnilk, the first film earned over Rs 840 crore nett in India and crossed Rs 1,300 crore worldwide gross, establishing a strong base for a multi-part narrative.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge centred on the character Hamza and expanded the storyline with larger set pieces. Sacnilk data shows the sequel opened to Rs 102.55 crore net in India on day one, ultimately grossing over Rs 1,370 crore in India gross collections to surpass the original's theatrical run.
Both the films were directed by Aditya Dhar. While Dhurandhar featured actor Akshaye Khanna as the antagonist, actor Arjun Rampal as Major Iqbal played Ranveer's arch nemesis in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The spy thriller also featured actors R Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Sanjay Dutt, Danish Pandor and Manav Gohil in key roles.
India Today, in its review of the film, wrote, "Dhurandhar: The Revenge is not subtle cinema. It is loud, unapologetic, and absolutely certain of itself. But within that loudness lies design, control, and a clear cinematic voice. It speaks of a "new India," but more significantly, it attempts to shape what "new Hindi cinema" can look like: fearless, excessive, and unwilling to explain itself."
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh will next be seen in director Siddharth Anand's action film King, produced by the actor's home banner, Red Chillies Entertainment.
The film also features his actor-daughter Suhana Khan including actors Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, Jackie Shroff, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla, Arshad Warsi, Raghav Juyal and Abhay Verma among others.
King is set for a theatrical release on December 24, 2026.
