IS ADITYA DHAR INDIA’S ANSWER TO TARANTINO?

How ‘Dhurandhar’ Positions B62 Studios’ Visionary in Rarefied Company

No Bill to kill. Just a lone Indian operative dismantling enemies of the nation. The blood, brutality, and shock are simply the fallout.

That’s Dhurandhar and it’s placing Aditya Dhar in the same conversation as Quentin Tarantino.

Bold comparison? Yes. Valid one? Absolutely.

 

1. Close-Ups That Cut Deep

Tarantino’s unforgiving close-ups in Inglourious Basterds and Kill Bill expose every micro-expression—rage beneath stillness, calculation behind charm.

Dhar does the same but anchors it emotionally. His camera probes guilt, panic, resolve. In Ranveer Singh’s eyes alone, we see a man racing against time, terrified that crucial intel may arrive too late to save lives.

Tarantino’s visual grammar, filtered through Dhar’s emotionally grounded lens.

 

2. Blood as Language

Tarantino revels in stylized excess—geysers of blood, operatic violence, anime flourishes.

Dhar opts for raw savagery. Dhurandhar doesn’t beautify brutality; it confronts it. Blood is messy, uncomfortable, purpose-driven. From Akshaye Khanna’s chilling Rehman Dacait to Arjun Rampal’s merciless interrogations—every violent moment deepens character and stakes, not just shock value.

 

3. Reality vs. Mythology

Tarantino weaves westerns, martial arts, and war films into revisionist fantasies.

Dhar pulls from geopolitical reality—covert ops, cross-border conflicts, intelligence warfare. His stories echo today’s headlines. Where Tarantino creates cinematic revenge mythologies, Dhar builds urgency from real-world stakes.

 

4. Chapters as Discipline

Tarantino’s chapter structure thrives on nonlinear chaos, reshuffling time and tension.

Dhar employs chapters as narrative clarity. In Uri and Dhurandhar, structure enhances understanding rather than disruption. Each chapter advances cause and consequence with precision.

Same device. Sharper restraint.

 

5. Sound as Weapon

This is where the comparison crystallizes.

Tarantino weaponizes ironic tracks—pop songs punctuating brutality, turning sound into commentary.

Dhar mirrors that sophistication through militaristic scores that don’t accompany the story—they drive it. Percussive rhythms heighten anxiety. Silence precedes devastation. Bollywood classics reimagined as sonic motifs.

Both filmmakers make sound an invisible character amplifying suspense and emotional payoff.

 

6. Different Paths, Same Destination

If Tarantino thrives on exaggeration, Dhar champions realism. One finds poetry in flamboyant chaos; the other in controlled carnage.

Yet both reach the same result: gut-punch cinema.

Bold visuals. Tension-soaked pacing. Violence that fuels narrative. Emotion that lingers after the action fades.

India’s Uncompromising Answer

With Dhurandhar, Dhar doesn’t replicate Tarantino—he establishes himself as India’s fearless counterpart. A filmmaker unafraid of blood, bold emotion, and boundary-breaking storytelling.

And that’s exactly the B62 Studios philosophy: we don’t aim for good enough. We aim for the top. Every film we create is engineered to dominate—box office charts, critical conversations, cultural impact. Dhurandhar crossing ₹374 crore worldwide isn’t a victory lap; it’s the baseline.

B62 Studios settles for nothing less than being the best. Not aspirational. Operational. We’re building a studio that competes at the highest level—globally—and wins.

Tarantino and Dhar inhabit different worlds—one hyper-stylized, one fiercely grounded—but their philosophy converges: make cinema visceral, fearless, unforgettable.

 

The league? Dhar’s not entering it. B62 Studios is redefining it.

Dhurandhar is a high-octane action-thriller written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar, and produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar. It features a stellar cast including Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun. Presented by Jio Studios, a B62 Studios, the film opened to massive numbers at the box office and is only soaring higher
