"Dhurandhar" is a hard-hitting narrative that dives deep into the heart of raw ambition and the intoxicating allure of power. The film follows the turbulent journey of Shivam, a determined and intellectually sharp young man from a humble background, who believes that merit and grit alone can conquer the deeply entrenched hierarchies of society.
Driven by a burning desire to break free from the chains of mediocrity, Shivam enters the cutthroat arena of student politics at a prestigious university—a microcosm of the larger world, where ideologies clash, alliances are fragile, and every friend can be a potential foe. What begins as a quest for justice and reform slowly morphs into a dangerous game of manipulation and moral ambiguity.
As Shivam rises through the ranks, gaining the titular "Dhurandhar" (a moniker meaning "The Invincible" or "The Unstoppable"), he is forced to confront the corrosive cost of his ambition. The very system he sought to change begins to change him, straining his relationships, his ethics, and his soul. The film masterfully explores the central question: In the pursuit of power, how much of oneself must one sacrifice?
