Director Sriram Raghavan, while acknowledging the success of Aditya Dhar's film 'Dhurandhar,' stated it is not the kind of movie he would personally make. Raghavan, known for his distinct storytelling style, praised 'Dhurandhar' for its performances and commercial success, but emphasized that his own cinematic approach differs significantly. He noted that while he admires Dhar's craft and sensibility, he would not replicate the film's format, considering it would be a disservice to his own creative vision. Other filmmakers like Karan Johar have expressed admiration for 'Dhurandhar's' impact on Hindi cinema.
