Filmmaker Aditya Dhar's latest release 'Dhurandhar' has sparked an intense debate across India, as several political parties accused the film of "promoting the government's propaganda", while the Centre has maintained that the movie merely depicts terrorism and that the government has no role or influence in its making.
Released on December 5, the high-octane spy thriller is written and directed by Aditya Dhar. Starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, the film traces covert intelligence operations against the backdrop of major geopolitical and terror-related events, including the Kandahar plane hijacking, the 2001 Parliament terror attack and the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
