KJo said, “I unabashedly, unapologetically, and absolutely, outstandingly loved Dhurandhar. I saw all of it with awe because I loved the craft of filmmaking. I loved the storytelling. I loved the way he divided it into chapters. I loved that the gaze was more internal, and it wasn’t against, it was for speaking about politics in its own way.”

He further added, “I actually wasn’t offended by the politics of the film. I know where it was heading. I know some people could agree or disagree, and that should be cinema. I was not offended by any ideological issue in the film. I watched it for the craft, for the cinema aspect of it, and I absolutely loved it, and I felt like Aditya Dhar has a unique voice, and I feel he has emerged as a strong, unique voice. I walked out feeling it was a nuanced film.”
