Terry Crews, best known for his role as Sergeant Terry Jeffords in the hit sitcom "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," has extended his congratulations to Ranveer Singh on his performance in "Dhurandhar". The action-packed spy thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar, hit theaters on December 5, 2025, and has been generating significant buzz.
Crews, who portrayed the lovable and muscular Sergeant Jeffords in all eight seasons of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," is admired for his comedic timing and on-screen presence. The character Terry Jeffords was created with Crews in mind, and he brought much of his own personality to the role. Crews has also starred in "Everybody Hates Chris" and hosted "America's Got Talent".
"Dhurandhar" marks Ranveer Singh's return to the big screen after a brief hiatus. The film has been described as a "high-adrenaline patriotic action drama". Singh plays Major Mohit, also known as Hamza, and has received praise for his intense and commanding performance. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal.
"Dhurandhar" is a two-part saga, with the first installment focusing on the story of an intelligence operative who goes underground and emerges as a savior. Set against the backdrop of the 1999 IC-814 Kandahar hijack and the 2001 Parliament attack, the film explores the nexus between Pakistani gangs, politicians, and the ISI. The second part of the film is scheduled to be released on March 19, 2026.
The film has received mixed reviews, with some critics praising the action sequences and performances, while others have found the violence overdone and the runtime excessive. However, many viewers have lauded Singh's performance and the film's gripping storyline. Akshaye Khanna's portrayal of a Lyari gangster has also been widely praised.
"Dhurandhar" has had a strong start at the box office, earning an estimated Rs 27 crore on its opening day in India. The film's success is attributed to its strong content and the ensemble cast's performances.
Crews' congratulatory message highlights the growing international recognition of Bollywood films and the increasing appreciation for Indian actors like Ranveer Singh. "Dhurandhar" is expected to continue its successful run in theaters, with fans eagerly awaiting the release of the second part in March 2026.
