The trailer of Ranveer Singh’s new spy thriller Dhurandhar has sparked a wave of excitement online, and the reactions say it all. Viewers are calling it wild, fiery, cinematic and the kind of big-scale actioner that deserves a theatre watch. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film brings together a heavyweight cast with R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal and Sanjay Dutt joining Ranveer in what looks like a gritty, high-voltage world of espionage and violence.
The trailer sets its mood from the first frame. Arjun Rampal appears as Major Iqbal, the feared Angel of Death, interrogating an Indian operative.
The scene is harsh and unsettling, almost a warning of the brutality the story is about to unfold. The visuals stay dark and atmospheric as R Madhavan enters the narrative as Ajay Sanyal, the chief of Indian Intelligence. His character is described as the Charioteer of Karma, a strategist preparing to send his most lethal asset across the border.
Akshaye Khanna’s entry is explosive. He storms into the frame as Rehman Dakait, an Apex Predator figure whose first act is smashing a man’s head in a single blow. The intensity he brings is so sharp that many viewers singled him out as one of the trailer’s biggest highlights. Sanjay Dutt follows soon after as The Jinn, a shadowy presence who adds weight and mystery without giving away much.
Ranveer’s arrival as Dhurandhar forms the crescendo. Long hair, blood-soaked action, a simmering rage in his eyes, and a promise of relentless violence. His scenes cut rapidly between hand-to-hand combat, infiltration shots and sweeping battlefield visuals. The entire trailer holds back just enough to maintain suspense while still delivering a sensory overload of scale, mood and aggression.
Across social media, reactions have poured in nonstop. One viewer wrote, Give the editor of this trailer his flowers. A four-minute cut that doesn’t reveal the story but fires up the film. Exciting intros, strong dialogues, action and brutality. Theatre experience gonna be wild. Another called it classy and cinematic, praising the tone and the scale. Several viewers also appreciated the production quality and the mature, serious performances by the ensemble cast.
The common sentiment is simple: Dhurandhar looks sharp, intense and built for the big screen. As far as first impressions go, the film has landed exactly where it wanted to.
