Actor and self-proclaimed film critic Kamaal R Khan, popularly known as KRK, recently shared his reaction to Aditya Dhar’s upcoming spy-action thriller Dhurandhar. He said the film turned out exactly as he had expected, adding that in his view the director would continue making what he described as “propaganda films” rather than “good” ones.
‘Aditya Dhar Calling Pakistan A Terrorist Country’
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), KRK said he had watched the second half of the film and claimed it matched his expectations completely. He also mentioned that the film includes references to Pakistan being described as a “terrorist country”.
“I have watched the second half of the film Dhurandhar, and it’s 100% as per my expectations,” KRK wrote on the social media platform.
He further added that the film portrays Pakistan as the “No.1 terrorist country in the world” and said the theme would resonate strongly with Indian audiences. “Aditya Dhar is calling Pakistan the No.1 terrorist country in the world, abusing and destroying it. And this is the best subject for the Indian audience today. So of course, it’s a blockbuster,” he wrote.

“After watching the full film Dhurandhar, I can say with 200 per cent guarantee that director Aditya Dhar Films will never be able to make a good film in his lifetime,” he said in yet another post on Dhurandhar.
He added, “He will make only propaganda films for his lifetime. Because he can make any crap film a blockbuster with this Achook formula.”
