'The love I have received has been overwhelming.' 'I pause and think about the fact that people have their own lives, their own struggles, a hundred responsibilities -- and yet, they take a moment to tell me they felt something because of my work.' 'That means more to me than I can put into words.'
Sequels have traditionally been successful at the box office, especially when they take the story forward. Let's take a look at some such films.
If the stories are food for the mind then our digestive system has changed. If they are a piece of art, our gaze has altered. This calls for a change not in stories, but in the grammar of storytelling so that it can cut through the deluge and gluttony and force people to savour, appreciate and re-visit it. That is what the creators of Taskaree or Dhurandhar are trying, points out Vanita Kohli-Khandekar.
Bollywood Hungama's OTT India Fest and India Entertainment Awards saw a lot of glamour on the red carpet.
Dhurandhar does not ask audiences to cheer blindly, notes Kumar Abhishek. It asks them to see how power operates in grey zones, and at moral cost.
'It's not hidden, it's not unintentional -- inciting hate and violence is in the DNA of Dhurandhar.'
Check out how romantic Ranveer Singh is.
'This so called trend of giving money, in the disguise of marketing a film, to ensure good 'hype' for a film is created or else 'they' will continuously write negative things (even before the film is released), until you pay 'them' money feels nothing but kind of extortion.'
Despite the IPL taking up maximum eyeballs, OTT offers a wide selection of original films, web series and movies making their digital premiere in April.
Ranveer Singh made his fans proud as he received a special honour at the Red Sea Film Festival 2023.
'You were one of my favourite directors who made Indian cinema feel fearless, impolite, and alive. If Dhurandhar has even a fraction of that DNA, it's because your films whispered (sometimes screamed) in my head while I was writing and directing it.'

Dhurandhar may not have the dark realism of a spy story which a web show can manage. But it does not have the flamboyance either, that has come to be associated with espionage movies, observes Deepa Gahlot.
'After Saiyaara, a lot of confidence has come in. Hindi is now looking good, especially with Dhurandhar 2 expected in March.'
Dhurandhar's most dangerous idea is that Director Aditya Dhar envisions an Indian state run by a deep state -- an intelligence machinery not accountable to Parliament, courts, or voters. A future political system where unelected officials decide when Indian democracy is 'fit' to function, observes Syed Firdaus Ashraf.
Over 25 years, societies evolve and tastes change. Cinema absorbs and reflects this transformation. Picking only 25 films from the first quarter of the century is tough.
