Key facts
- Ram Charan calls Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 'phenomenal'
- Says the film 'brought the country together'
- Cross-industry praise from a major South Indian star
- Comments reported by The Indian Express
Ram Charan, the RRR star who has become one of Indian cinema's most globally recognised faces, has offered a glowing endorsement of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar, calling the film 'phenomenal' and crediting it with having 'brought the country together.'
The praise, reported by The Indian Express, is notable for its warmth and specificity. Ram Charan's words carry particular weight given his standing across both South Indian and pan-India audiences — his endorsement is not a routine piece of promotional cross-pollination but a genuine statement of admiration from a peer whose opinion the industry respects.
The remarks tap into a broader cultural moment in which the boundaries between Bollywood and South Indian cinema have become increasingly porous. Films like RRR and Baahubali demonstrated that stories rooted in one regional tradition could command audiences across the entire country, and Dhurandhar appears to be part of the same conversation in Ram Charan's estimation.
For Ranveer Singh, the praise from Ram Charan represents a significant vote of confidence at a moment when the actor has been working to reestablish himself as one of Hindi cinema's leading men. The cross-regional appreciation also points to a healthier, more collaborative spirit between the industries than the rivalry narratives that often dominate film media coverage.
