Director Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar has been receiving a lot of love and praise from viewers all over the world as it continues its record-breaking run at the box office, both locally and internationally.

Elli AvrRam acknowledges that she was a bit late to jump on the Dhurandhar bandwagon, but she is overjoyed to have finally seen the movie because of her friends' unwavering support.

She revealed that she had originally intended to watch the movie on an over-the-top (OTT) service because she was afraid of some of the violent and brutal parts. But eventually, she was persuaded to see the movie the way it was intended to be seen—on a large screen—by the increasing word-of-mouth and overwhelming positive reviews.

Elli AvrRam took to her Instagram Story after watching the film and shared a heartfelt note, praising the performances and storytelling.

The actress wrote, “DHURANDHAR. What a film!!! I was late to the party because I’m scared of watching certain types of scenes and I thought I’ll watch it on OTT. But so many friends told me it’s a must-watch with great performances and storytelling. So I pulled myself together and went to watch it on the big screen! And thank God I did. OUTSTANDING IN ALL WAYS!”

She further praised the film’s flawless execution, adding, “This is the cinema we need—where every actor shines, everything and everyone complements each other, and the story flows without a single flaw. A film that can truly be watched over and over again. Whoever is yet to watch it, do yourself a favour and go watch it! Don’t be a stubborn chicken like me… it would have been pure regret and shame as an actor otherwise. Just being honest.”

Elli concluded her note by expressing that she’s already eagerly awaiting the sequel.
