#Dhurandhar2‌TheRevenge A few takeaways -(with no spoilers) There has rarely been a film in Indian cinema that speaks with this kind of unvarnished clarity. Dhurandhar tears long-standing, unspoken boundaries ruthlessly - in what it shows and what it refuses to soften. The cinematography is deliciously assured, and the performances razor sharp. For once the Indian actor owns a character completely instead of recycling a signature personna. That depth, that discipline of nuance takes the film to another level altogether. What Dhurandhar 1 & 2 establish beyond doubt is this: the Indian audience has long been starved of an honest, unfiltered articulation of its own reality, especially on Pakistan. For decades, there has been a dissonance between lived experience and the carefully curated narratives that circulated within select “Aman ki Asha” echo chambers. This film doesn’t just challenge that, it destroys it. The accumulated frustration of ordinary Indians, long muted by the expectation of restraint, moral posturing, and passive endurance is finally finding articulation. Dhurandhar reminds us that there are men and women who risk life and limb to protect the nation - a pride long suppressed by a twisted piety that Nationalism is wrong, dangerous. Dhurandhar rejects that very notion and throws their flimsy ‘high moral ground’ in their face. As for the snowflake ‘critic’ class, their outrage is almost comical. For years they dutifully gushed over the same handful of ‘stars’ while propping up cinema calibrated for the moronic. The only ones surprised by their irrelevance, is themselves. And when the ‘Doyenne of the Has-Beens’ attempts a ‘serious’ meditation on why saying Bharat Mata ki Jai is disturbing, it becomes clear just how completely they have lost the plot. This isn’t critique but a strain of sychophrenia, completely detached from reality. It reveals a class so profoundly out of sync with the country, that it now speaks only to itself: an isulated circle that mistakes fluency in English for significance - but only too willing to serve as convenient amplifiers for dubious, self-serving narratives.

@parikhdeep12 Hi Deep, please let me know how to get in touch!

@SainikDal @_sayema And so what do you have to say about terrorists targeting our entire community? Do they pick and choose? It’s sad how you seem to have empathy but selective empathy unfortunately.

@_sayema The one who is guilty should be punished, but targeting the entire Muslim community because of it is a meaningless act. We stand with you.

How sick are those people who are busy inciting hate after such a terrible incident! Innocents from all communities have lost lives and relatives. We need love, compassion, kindness, care for some healing. Accountability of the system. The shameless, heartless hate-inciting people are the reason for such unrest around us. They know who they are. Sick souls!

@_sayema You are so selective with your thoughts that no one takes you what you say seriously apart from some brainwashed liberals. Stop posting for your own and other people’s sanity. Be kind to yourself and kind to us please.

@_sayema Victims that are always almost Hindus need a lot of compassion, kindness, care, and healing. You want to give compassion and love to terrorists, is it? How sick are you! Accountability of the system or accountability of religion that mostly preaches violence and extremism? Sick

@RyLiberty Don’t be this delusional please 😂😏

Pakistan made India kneel in a matter of hours

@ayeshaijazkhan Have some shame! Your country has been harbouring terrorism for years. You will get what you deserve.

Dear World, Just remember — India started this!

@yashi_reads Also your team’s owner had a heatstroke in Ahmedabad not in kolkata. I live here so I know what I am talking about. Don’t comment on a city and its people if you haven’t had the exposure.

@MankadRicha Oh please come to Kolkata when there's a KKR match. It's not about the temperature, it's about a real sporting audience

There was no crowd in Ahmedabad btw

@yashi_reads So you get to decide whether Ahmedabad has a real sporting audience sitting on your couch. You come to Ahmedabad and watch a match here please. There will be a lot of matches played here whether you like it or not 😃

@bykarthikreddy Wow! Our PM was asking people to vote for him and campaigning for him and you have audacity to say this. Do your job properly man.

Amit Shah speaks on sexual charges against Prajwal Revanna 1. This cannot be spared 2. BJP doesn't tolerate insult to women. We stand with women. 3. State is under Congress rule and despite knowing the issue didn't initiate action till date.

@sairambalasubra @bhogleharsha It was 40 degrees this afternoon in Ahmedabad. This heat can make you sick. I have been to every GT match for the last 2 years and it’s the same pattern. Evenings are jam packed and afternoons there are very few people.

@bhogleharsha Ahmedabad had a very low crowd turnout today

This stadium is like a mustard field. Just yellow everywhere

@FarziCricketer So it was 40 degrees in Ahmedabad today and it was an afternoon match. I watch every GT evening match in the stadium and the crowd makes a lot of noise. Would you like to come over to watch it live once?

This crowd is already making more noise than the one in Ahmedabad today.

@rajeshKA70 @LucknowIPL Well that’s because this match is being played in the afternoon and it’s 40 degrees in Ahmedabad.

@LucknowIPL had a bigger crowd in ekana yesterday than today's match between #GTvsSRH

@mohitbang12 @bookmyshow We ended up calling them and were told to keep trying all day all the time 😆 Sport shouldn’t be causing so much stress and anxiety in people just wanting to have a fair go at buying tickets. Terrible state of affairs!

What next now? Atleast give us a time when would you release the tickets so we stop wasting our time and stop refreshing. @bookmyshow #BookMyShow #BCCI #cricket #bms #cwc #CWC23 #CWC2023 #cwc23tickets #india #pakistan

Has anyone recently been approved to leave Australia under the category of travelling for more than 3 months? Does this exemption have an expiry date/validity period? #leavingaustralia #Australia #bordersclosed

@veras67 @s_deery @VicGovDHHS Thank you and you have a good day tomorrow too :)

@MankadRicha @s_deery @VicGovDHHS Thank you. Lucky it won't be 37 degree tomorrow so should be lovely weather for cricket. I hope your nephew has a good match and you have a great day watching him play. Take care.

Re: tonight’s permit system debacle. A government statement has just been issued: “The teams from DHHS and Service Victoria worked as quickly as possible to get the permit system up and running, as they worked to draft directions and experienced some technical issues.” #springst

@veras67 @s_deery @VicGovDHHS Always happy to do the right thing for the greater good of our community. So glad I can go and watch my nephew’s very important cricket match tomorrow. Stay safe :)

@MankadRicha @s_deery @VicGovDHHS No problem. Glad you can get out of the house now! Thanks so much for isolating in the first place and testing.

@veras67 @s_deery @VicGovDHHS Thank you :)

@MankadRicha @s_deery @VicGovDHHS has just tweeted something that might provide clarification.
