Anupam Kher has strongly reacted to Dhurandhar 2 being labelled propaganda, while praising Ranveer Singh’s film as powerful, emotional and deeply impactful. The film continues to dominate headlines, not only for its impressive box office performance but also for the ongoing debate around its narrative. Responding to claims that brand it as propaganda, the veteran actor offered a firm and emotional defence, asserting that the film reflects important truths and genuine storytelling. He emphasized its intent and message, urging audiences to view it with an open mind rather than judge it by today’s preconceived notions or bias-driven criticism.
‘People Should Be Ashamed’: Kher Reacts Strongly
In a detailed post and accompanying video shared on social media, Anupam Kher expressed his disappointment over the criticism directed at the film while addressing the controversy, saying: “I feel so sad and pity for those who call the film a propaganda movie. Initially, I got angry because they tried to call The Kashmir Files, Dhurandhar 1, and Dhurandhar 2 propaganda movies. But they should be ashamed of themselves to call it a propaganda film. If you can’t tolerate such a movie, you should also make one such film. It’s a film that shows modern India, apart from the drama of the movie.” His words underline both frustration and conviction, as he stood firmly by the film’s vision and message.
A Film That ‘Stays With You’

He added that the film is not just meant to be watched, but to be felt and experienced deeply. He said the storytelling unfolds in a subtle yet powerful way, connecting with audiences and leaving a truly lasting, meaningful impression.
Appreciation for the Cast and Crew
The veteran actor praised the entire team, emphasizing their dedication in crafting a film that is emotionally engaging and cinematically powerful. He also specifically commended Sanjay Dutt for his performance, stating that it brings considerable depth and weight to the overall narrative of the story.

Ranveer Singh and Rakesh Bedi React
Following Kher’s heartfelt reaction, Ranveer Singh expressed gratitude, acknowledging the veteran actor’s influence on his journey. He responded with a warm and respectful message note: “Shabd toh Mere kam pad gaye yeh dekh kar, Sir. Aap ki kalakari se prerit ho kar bade hue hain, Sir. Aapka aise kehna mere liye bahut bahut badi baat hai. Aap ko koti koti pranaam, Sir.” Actor Rakesh Bedi, who is also part of the film, added a lighter note, calling Kher’s reaction honest.
