Bollywood's King Speaks: Shah Rukh Khan Praises Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' Duology as 'Fantastic'

When Shah Rukh Khan speaks, Bollywood listens. And when he gives a film his personal stamp of approval, especially one starring a peer, it creates quite the buzz! Recently, during one of his ever-popular #AskSRK sessions on social media, the King of Bollywood didn't just answer fan questions; he also dropped a glowing review for a highly successful film franchise – Aditya Dhar’s 'Dhurandhar' duology.

It seems SRK has been catching up on the latest cinematic offerings, and the spy thrillers, 'Dhurandhar' and its sequel 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge,' definitely left an impression. With his own much-anticipated film, 'King,' on the horizon, one might expect him to be solely focused on his release. Yet, he took the time, on September 15, 2026, to publicly laud the work of another. His verdict? Pure adoration, really. He simply stated, and I quote, "Loved both the parts….fantastic by the whole team!!!" Short, sweet, and incredibly impactful, isn't it?

For those unfamiliar, the 'Dhurandhar' series has been nothing short of a cinematic phenomenon. Directed with gripping precision by Aditya Dhar, these films have redefined the spy thriller genre in Indian cinema. Ranveer Singh leads the charge, delivering a performance that has clearly resonated with audiences and, evidently, with SRK himself. But the stellar cast doesn't stop there; the duology also boasts powerhouse talents like Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, each contributing significantly to the franchise's formidable appeal.

The numbers speak for themselves, too. 'Dhurandhar,' which first hit screens in December 2025, followed by 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' in March 2026, collectively blasted past the monumental Rs 3,000 crore mark worldwide. Yes, you read that right – three thousand crore! This kind of box office performance is, frankly, mind-boggling and places the films firmly in the pantheon of global blockbusters. So, when a film achieves such commercial success and then receives a ringing endorsement from a superstar like Shah Rukh Khan, it's truly a testament to its quality and universal appeal.

SRK’s kind words are more than just a review; they're a beautiful moment of camaraderie within the film industry. It shows a genuine appreciation for good cinema, irrespective of who’s starring or directing. And for Ranveer Singh, Aditya Dhar, and the entire team behind 'Dhurandhar,' having a legend like Shah Rukh Khan call their work "fantastic" must be incredibly gratifying. It’s a moment that reminds us all why we love Bollywood – for the magic it creates and the mutual respect it fosters, even amidst friendly competition.
