Ever since Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar hit theaters the film has been at the centre of conversations. From its gripping storyline to its layered performances the film has managed to strike a chord with audiences. While Akshaye Khanna’s act has been widely hailed and continues to dominate discussions there is another performance that has quietly impressed viewers. Actor Saumya Tandon who also features in the film recently shared her thoughts explaining how the performances that shout grab instant attention but sometimes its the quieter ones that create an impact long after the film ends.
Everybody’s talking about Akshaye but…’
Speaking about the film Saumya Tandon who played Akshaye Khanna’s wife in the film praised Dhurandhars team. She then added “I also want to say one more thing. Everybody’s talking about Akshaye but I have to tell you I love Ranveer in that movie.”
Her statement struck a chord with fans who felt Ranveer’s performance though subtle was deeply impactful.

Elaborating on what she meant Saumya further added “Because you know the silent parts? Being a superstar being a hero. He’s standing behind and giving the stage to Akshaye to do all those nuances.” She further added “He’s very subtly standing behind as an actor and staying silent. I think it’s the sign of a very mature artist.”
According to Saumya it takes immense confidence for a leading star to step back and let another performer shine and Ranveer does exactly that in Dhurandhar.
Fans React
As soon as this statement of Saumya took over social media it went viral with netizens quick to react. One fan wrote “Absolutely true” while another commented “The whole cast did soo well! EVERYBODY! And Ranveer Singh toh.”
A third fan added “Very true; without Ranveer this wouldn’t have been possible.” Another comment read “Very well said about Ranveer felt the same about him such a person and such a commitment to the character.”
Dhuruandhar which was released on 5th December continues to shine at the box office. Globally the film has already surpassed the Rs 600 crore mark leaving many blockbusters behind. Part 2 of the film will be released on 19 March 2026. Saumya Tandon’s words have only strengthened the appreciation for Ranveer Singh’s powerful performance proving that sometimes silence leaves the greatest impact.
