Aditya Dhar’s Baramulla has taken over Netflix ever since it released on November 7, 2025. The film has opened with rave reviews from both critics and fans alike, with many even stating that it left chills down their spines. The Manav Kaul starrer is only a new addition to Dhar’s highly impressive filmography.
While Dhurandhar is set to release, there is a positive pattern that the filmmaker is setting, one that could highly benefit his reputation within the Bollywood industry. The four projects that Dhar has primarily worked on were all massive hits, something that is rare to achieve.

Baramulla, Dhoom Dhaam, Article 370 and Uri: The Surgical Strike were films where Aditya Dhar was either the scriptwriter, director or producer. That is, he had a major role to play in the success of these movies. All three of them had certain messages or stories to tell, those that left the kind of impression that would keep you awake for days.
Vicky Kaushal’s film was based on a real story. Both Yami Gautam’s Article 370 and Manav Kaul’s Baramulla are based on Kashmir and its issues. Gautam’s other film with Dhar, Dhoom Dhaam, focuses on women’s issues and how they are forced to hide their real selves from society but with a comedic twist.
Each of these films garnered a lot of attention and a string of positive reviews. It is rare for a filmmaker to release one hit after another, especially when there is so much social commentary at play. His upcoming film with Ranveer Singh is also said to be inspired by real-life events. There is a genre of films that he is targeting, one that is hitting the audiences the right way.

From using cool tones to show serious scenes to making thematic films, Aditya Dhar has created a record for himself that is nothing short of perfection. All the praise that his films have gotten has only put more faith into his upcoming projects. The actors put in their all and the way those films are shot, whether they may be for the big screen or the small screen, always shine out.
Getting a perfect record like so is definitely something that should be celebrated. However, it is also important to approach every next project with even more care. All eyes would be on Dhar and expectations would naturally increase manifold. It is in those minute details that a filmmaker shines out and he most certainly has that edge.
The cast of Dhurandhar is already massive, and all the first looks that have been released so far give the idea that audiences are in for a ride. Thrill, adrenaline and white space; Dhar knows how to balance them all in his films and we can only hope Ranveer Singh’s movie also follows the same pattern.
