Many viewers are praising the Dhurandhar trailer and calling it powerful, while others criticise it without holding back. You see people comparing reactions everywhere, and the debate around the trailer keeps growing with every new opinion.
Some YouTubers, including Dhruv Rathee, say Aditya Dhar crossed the limits of “cheapness” in Bollywood. They claim the violence, gore, and torture shown in the trailer feel like watching ISIS beheadings and then calling it entertainment. Their words triggered strong reactions online.
A disturbing scene shows Arjun Rampal as the villain torturing someone. Viewers argue that such visuals influence your mindset in the wrong way. They accuse Dhar of chasing profit and poisoning young audiences by normalising extreme gore and glorifying brutal torture.
After Animal’s massive box office success, fans believe Aditya saw a chance to cash in on violent themes and went even deeper into gore. Some viewers also argue that the censor board stays silent on barbaric scenes but objects to kissing or anything seen as disrespecting humans.
People say the CBFC often passes violence by calling it “real-world atrocities,” yet bans films like Santosh that reflect society’s truth. Others insist that everyone should wait for the film’s release instead of forming harsh opinions based on the trailer.
Showing reality is never the issue, but presenting real-life-inspired characters in extreme ways becomes “problematic” when the content feels propaganda-driven. Cinema shapes your emotions and mental health more than you realise. You will understand the film’s true impact only after its release.
