Dhadak 2 Director Shazia Iqbal Called Dhurandhar a ‘Sinister’ Film? Instagram Made Private After Backlash –

Shazia Iqbal Calls Dhurandhar Sinister Film:

Shazia Iqbal, the director of Dhadak 2, sparked a fresh discussion online after she criticised the spy thriller Dhurandhar. The Ranveer Singh-starrer, directed by Aditya Dhar, has been widely talked about since its release on Netflix following a successful theatrical run.

On February 1, Iqbal shared a message on her Instagram stories describing a film she called “sinister” and saying it “incites hate and violence” in its core. She did not name Dhurandhar directly, but she used the film’s music in the background, making it clear that she was referring to it. Iqbal also tweeted that while the movie might be “well made” with good background music, she felt the industry showed “apathy” toward how its content could affect minority communities.

Hours after her posts spread on social media, Iqbal made her Instagram account private. The move came amid mixed reactions from fans and other users online. Some supported her for speaking out, while others criticised her remarks against a film that has been praised for its scale and success.

Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar has become the highest grossing Bollywood film and remains a major topic of conversation as viewers and industry figures weigh in on its themes and impact. Iqbal’s comments have added a new layer to the debate, showing how creative work can lead to strong personal views and reactions in today’s social media environment. There have been discussions about the film's authenticity while dealing with real events and fictionalised elements at the time of its release, but the box office numbers shut everyone's mouth.
