Mumbai, Dec 12 (IANS) Iltija Mufti, daughter of former Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, took to her social media to share her thoughts on the recently released film ‘Dhurandhar’.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Iltija called the movie “pretty good” and applauded it for ‘portraying women without reducing them to mere props’. She also praised the casting of the movie and called it ‘perfect’.

In her post, Iltija Mufti wrote, “Much outrage over Dhurandhar, but I quite liked the movie & found it interesting. The casting especially is perfection. Women, for once, as is the case in most violent Bollywood movies, weren’t used as props. Very well made.” For the uninitiated, ever since its release, Dhurandhar has sparked debate online, dividing the internet into two.

While one group of audiences has criticised the film, accusing it of being propaganda and distorting facts, another section has lauded it for showing real-life events and tragedies honestly and for also highlighting the impact of terrorism on the country and beyond. Talking about Dhurandhar, the movie was released nationwide on December 5 and has been directed by Aditya Dhar, known for his work on sociopolitical dramas.

The film stars Ranveer Singh in the lead role, supported by Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan in key roles. A particular scene from the movie featuring Akshaye Khanna’s entry dance has taken the internet by storm and gone viral.

The movie has been lauded by many Bollywood celebrities. From Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan to Vicky Kaushal, Allu Arjun, and Rohit Shetty, all have taken to their respective social media accounts in praising the movie and the performance of the star cast.
