Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri Backs 'धुरंधर': "Films More Important Than Politics"

• Aditya Dhar's film 'Dhurandhar' has grossed over 250 crores at the box office.
• Director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri defended 'Dhurandhar', calling the criticism an "aftershock" similar to reactions to his 2016 film.
• Agnihotri stated that films are more important than politics as they change people's thinking and shape collective memories.
• The film, inspired by real events like the Kandahar hijack and 26/11, has been criticized as 'propaganda' and 'anti-Pakistan'.
• 'Dhurandhar' features stars like Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, and Sanjay Dutt, and has been banned in some Gulf countries.

Why It Matters: Films shape public thought, challenge narratives, outweigh politics.
