Hrithik shared his second reaction to Dhurandhar on X and Instagram, calling director Aditya Dhar “an incredible maker” and praising Ranveer Singh’s transformation, Akshaye Khanna’s performance, and the work of the makeup and prosthetics team.
“Still can’t get DHURANDHAR out of my mind,” Hrithik wrote, adding that he was already looking forward to the sequel.

Hrithik’s second post came just hours after his earlier Instagram Story, where he praised the film’s cinematic craft but openly admitted he did not agree with its political perspective.
“I may disagree with the politics of it and argue about the responsibility we filmmakers bear as citizens of the world,” he wrote, adding that he still admired the storytelling and learned from the film as a student of cinema.
