<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nFilmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar<\/a> has heaped praise on Ranveer Singh<\/a>\u2019s performance in Dhurandhar, going so far as to say that the actor deserves a National Award for his work in the film. In a recent interview, Bhandarkar also lauded director Aditya Dhar<\/a>, calling Dhurandhar a landmark film that has changed the grammar of Indian cinema.Bhandarkar revealed that he watched the film multiple times and was deeply impressed by Ranveer’s restrained yet powerful portrayal.\u201cAfter watching Part Two, the way Ranveer has played the character so flawlessly, I salute him. He should definitely get a National Award. There is no doubt about it. He has performed brilliantly,\u201d Bhandarkar told Shubhakar Mishra.The Fashion director believes Dhurandhar has altered the industry’s approach to storytelling and filmmaking.\u201cThere will be a before Dhurandhar and after Dhurandhar. This film has changed the dynamics of the industry. It has changed scriptwriting and even the grammar of filmmaking,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n Bhandarkar credited much of the film\u2019s success to the synergy between Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar. According to him, the actor completely trusted the filmmaker\u2019s vision and dedicated years to the project.\u201cOne thing I want to tell you is that Ranveer Singh surrendered himself to Aditya Dhar. That is what true dedication is. He gave three-and-a-half years to this film. Which actor does that today?\u201d he said.He further added, \u201cDhurandhar is 150 per cent a director\u2019s film. From the first frame to the last frame, it belongs to Aditya Dhar.\u201dThe filmmaker also praised Ranveer for embracing a subdued role in the first instalment rather than chasing conventional hero moments.\u201cYou have to give credit to Ranveer Singh because he understood the script. Many actors would have questioned why they were standing silently in the background while others were getting bigger moments. But he understood the character and trusted the narrative,\u201d Bhandarkar explained. <\/p>\n Comparing the performance to some of Ranveer\u2019s most celebrated roles, Bhandarkar said Aditya Dhar brought out a completely new side of the actor.\u201cI had seen Ranveer Singh in Padmaavat as Alauddin Khilji and I was shocked by that performance. But Aditya Dhar has taken him ten folds higher. This is a completely different Ranveer Singh,\u201d he said.Bhandarkar also singled out several emotional moments in the film, particularly praising Ranveer\u2019s expressions and attention to detail.\u201cThe scene where he returns injured, the way he walks with a limp, the scene where he sees his mother and breaks down \u2014 just those clips alone make him worthy of a National Award,\u201d he remarked. <\/p>\n Reflecting on the film\u2019s wider impact, Bhandarkar said Dhurandhar has proved that audiences will sit through lengthy films if the storytelling is compelling.\u201cPeople don\u2019t even watch a one-minute reel these days, but they are sitting through a four-hour film without taking out their phones. That tells you everything. Content is king,\u201d he said.The filmmaker further claimed that the film has prompted many production houses to rethink their own projects.\u201cFrom what I hear, several production houses have paused their scripts because they are trying to understand the new dynamics after Dhurandhar. That is the kind of impact this film has had,\u201d Bhandarkar added.Calling it a \u201cgame-changer,\u201d Bhandarkar concluded that Dhurandhar has redefined audience expectations and cemented Ranveer Singh\u2019s place among the finest actors of his generation.<\/div>\n\u2018Ranveer surrendered completely to Aditya Dhar\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
