Emraan Hashmi On Dhurandhar's Success:

Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi has openly praised the blockbuster success of Dhurandhar and taken a swipe at what he calls the “crap mentality” within the Hindi film industry. In a recent interview with India Today, Hashmi argued that instead of undermining or running down films that perform well at the box office, industry professionals should celebrate such successes because they benefit everyone by boosting cash flow and confidence in Indian cinema.

Hashmi’s comments came as Dhurandhar — directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna and an ensemble cast — continues to smash records and draw audiences despite its lengthy runtime, driven by strong marketing and word-of-mouth. He admitted he hasn’t yet seen the film himself but was impressed that viewers are embracing its nearly four-hour theatrical experience.

"Whenever a film does a certain amount of business, firstly, you're happy. However, there is a crap mentality in our industry. People like to run-down films. But I'm of the opinion that if something does well, you should celebrate that. Because that really... the more films do well, it gets for the industry, and the cash flow comes in. It helps everyone. So, that crap mentality shouldn't be there," he said.

The actor stressed that this negative mindset of dismissing hits does more harm than good to the ecosystem, urging peers to recognise and applaud quality work that pushes Bollywood forward.
