Aditya Dhar has built a strong reputation for detailed storytelling with films like Dhurandhar and Uri: The Surgical Strike. His work has often been praised for accuracy and realistic presentation.
However, this image has come under scrutiny ahead of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. A CBFC document has revealed a factual error related to demonetization dates in the film.
The issue surfaced on March 17, 2026, when the CBFC certificate went public. The film received an 'A' certificate along with a list of required corrections.
One key note mentioned correcting demonetization dates in the subtitles. This detail has raised questions as the 2016 demonetization is a major event in India's recent history.
The announcement was made by PM Narendra Modi on November 8, 2016. The move involved banning Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes across the country.
Despite the significance of the event, the film reportedly showed incorrect dates. The makers have now been asked to fix this before release.
Supporters of the film have downplayed the issue. They claim it is only a minor subtitle error and does not affect the overall narrative.
However, critics on social media are calling it a research lapse. They argue that such mistakes weaken the credibility of a film based on real world events.
This is not the first time such concerns have been raised. Earlier, viewers pointed out a scene in Dhurandhar that showed Karachi but was actually filmed at Inorbit Mall in Mumbai.
That moment also drew attention for breaking immersion. It led to questions about consistency in visual detailing.
With Dhurandhar: The Revenge set for release on March 19, 2026, the discussion continues. Many are now watching closely to see if the film lives up to its reputation.
