Tigmanshu Dhulia Praises Dhurandhar's Presentation but Questions Its Storytelling
Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia praised the presentation, music, and engagement of the blockbuster Dhurandhar films but criticized their storytelling, describing the plot as lacking depth beyond a basic premise of an undercover spy causing havoc in Pakistan. Speaking at a recent event, Dhulia linked this trend to corporate culture and 'extreme capitalism,' suggesting that mainstream Hindi cinema increasingly follows a formulaic template, limiting original storytelling and diversity in narratives.
