Cinematography was great, direction was amazing. It was a good watch.”However, the review then added what they had an issue with. “That said, one thing that kind of bothered me was how Rehman Dakait was somewhat glorified. I get it, it's fictional, but still, as someone who grew up hearing stories about this cold-blooded criminal, it was hard to view him as fictional.” Drawing parallels to depictions of Dawood Ibrahim in Hindi cinema, they added, “Maybe if they changed the name it would be better, for eg how would you feel if someone plays Dawood Ibrahim in a movie and his character is glorified.”But the viewer added that ‘it was a good movie overall’, even though the makers missed the odd details. “One detail missed in the movie is that Chaudhary Aslam was famous for not wearing a bulletproof vest even in deadly gunfights.”About DhurandharDhurandhar stars Ranveer Singh as an Indian operative in Pakistan, who infiltrates the gang of Rehman Dakait (Akshaye Khanna).
