Dhurandhar review

As per WION's Pragati Awasthi, "Dhurandhar comes with a digestible story and compelling performances, despite the complex theme. The music of the movie adds more thrill. This, as per the makers, is the first part, and a sequel is expected. The first part has established the characters and story well, and the second part, set to release in March, will dive deep into the story of Hamza, his real identity, and whether he'll be able to take revenge for the innocent deaths in terrorist attacks."
