Ameesha Patel has reacted strongly to the massive success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. While she praised the film and its team, she also took a sharp dig at the film industry. Sharing her thoughts on social media, she called the film an eye opener and said that filmmakers should focus on making real films instead of treating them like projects.
The film, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, has been doing extremely well at the box office. It has broken several records and is being widely discussed for its scale, storytelling and performances. Many well known actors from different film industries have praised the movie, adding to its popularity.
In her post, Ameesha said that the industry should learn from the film’s success. She pointed out that the director focused on making a proper film with actors, instead of casting people just because they are popular on social media. Her comment clearly highlighted her concern about the current trend where online popularity sometimes influences casting decisions.
Her statement has started conversations online, with many people agreeing that strong storytelling and good casting are more important than trends. Others felt her comment was a direct criticism of how some films are being made today.

The film has received praise from several big names including Alia Bhatt, Kangana Ranaut, Allu Arjun, Rajinikanth and Mahesh Babu. In fact, Rajinikanth even called the film a must watch and praised Aditya Dhar for his work. The director responded with gratitude and said that such appreciation from a legend meant a lot to him.
Another important reason behind the film’s success is its casting. The casting was handled by Mukesh Chhabra, who brought together a mix of popular stars and talented actors. Along with Ranveer Singh, the film features Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan and Akshaye Khanna in key roles.
With both strong box office numbers and growing industry support, Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues to stay in the spotlight, while also sparking an important conversation about the future of filmmaking.
