Durandhar’s Awards Drama
Remember Durandhar? That massive 2025 blockbuster that smashed box office records? It’s back in the spotlight, but this time, it’s not about money. The film’s team just made headlines by completely ghosting a major award ceremony!
The Awards No-Show
The Hollywood Reporter India recently held a big awards night. They announced a special honor for Durandhar. Excitement built… but when they called the film’s name? Crickets. No director, no producer, no actors walked up. Empty stage. Total boycott move.
Why The Cold Shoulder?
Rewind to Durandhar’s release. Top critic Anupama Chopra dropped a bombshell review. She called the film “anti-Pakistani” and accused it of pushing a political agenda. This blew up online, with huge debates tearing across social media.
Ouch, That Stung
While the Durandhar crew stayed quiet publicly, behind the scenes? They were crushed. Industry insiders spilled that the team felt totally misunderstood. They saw their film as a pure patriotic story – not a political weapon. Chopra’s take really hurt.
Same Critic, Same Magazine
Here’s the spicy twist: The Hollywood Reporter India is the SAME media outlet that published Chopra’s controversial review. So when they offered an award later? Suspicious timing alert! Was this boycott payback? A quiet protest against unfair criticism? The industry is buzzing with theories.
Team Silence Speaks Volumes
The Durandhar squad hasn’t officially said why they skipped. But actions scream louder than words, right? Sources say the crew’s still salty about critics missing the movie’s true heart. Getting an award from a place that hosted harsh reviews probably felt… off.
Fans Backing the Move
Social media’s siding with Team Durandhar big time. Fans flooded posts with comments like, “Respect has to be earned!” and “Don’t bash a film then act surprised when they reject your trophy.” They see the boycott as a power move against unfair criticism.
Mystery Still Unfolding
No one knows the *exact* reason for the boycott yet. But this clash – a record-breaking film vs. harsh critics – is pure drama. Did Chopra’s review cause this epic awards snub? Until the team talks, it’s the hottest guessing game in Bollywood right now.
