Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' has sparked controversy as it was edited for OTT release without the director's consent. The film, which initially ran for 3 hours and 34 minutes in theaters, has been shortened to 3 hours and 25 minutes for its Netflix debut, removing nearly nine minutes of footage. This has left fans disappointed, as they were not prepared for the censored version. According to Bollywood Hungama, Netflix made the edits without seeking approval from director Aditya Dhar. However, Pinkvilla reports that the 'Dhurandhar' team submitted an unaltered version for its OTT premiere, suggesting that the streaming platform may have made the cuts independently. The film's success at the box office, crossing Rs 800 crore domestically and Rs 1200 crore worldwide, adds to the intrigue. 'Dhurandhar' becomes Bollywood's longest film since 'Jodhaa Akbar', but the question remains: who is responsible for the changes made to the original cut? This controversy invites discussion and leaves viewers wondering about the impact of OTT platforms on cinematic storytelling. And this is the part most people miss... Who do you think is to blame for the edits? Share your thoughts in the comments!
