Kangana hails Dhurandhar’s Bollywood revival; Madhavan shines as Ajit Doval

Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut praised R. Madhavan’s portrayal of National Security Advisor Ajit Doval in the Dhurandhar franchise. In her conversation on the ANI podcast, she remarked that the film breathed new energy into Hindi cinema, helping it reconnect with audiences after a period of decline.

Kangana said Dhurandhar helped the film industry connect back with the country. She said the audience was turning South to experience better cinema with cultural relevance and regional appeal.

"If you see the spirit of the film industry, in a way, it was becoming disconnected from the country. Audience participation had declined, studios were depleting, and people didn't want to watch these films anymore," she said.
