Prarthana Behere Praises Dhurandhar For Pushing Creative Boundaries

Actress Prarthana Behere has praised the film 'Dhurandhar' for pushing creative boundaries and reminding viewers to enjoy cinema as an audience rather than judging it as a critic. Speaking in an interview on June 13, 2026, the star of the upcoming film 'Mardini' reflected on the evolving landscape of Indian cinema.

Behere, who has already delivered two successful Marathi films this year, is gearing up for what she hopes will be another milestone in her career with 'Mardini'. The actress expressed immense excitement about the upcoming project, calling it one of the most significant films of her career.

The film 'Mardini' is backed by actor-producer Shreyas Talpade. The storyline revolves around the theme of motherhood, focusing on the extraordinary lengths to which a mother will go to protect her child.

While discussing her career and the industry, Behere shared her thoughts on the direction of modern Indian cinema. She explained that she has been associated with the film industry for many years. Before she began her career as an actor, she worked as a journalist and even reviewed films.

According to Behere, this professional background often makes it difficult to watch movies purely for entertainment. She noted that people with similar experiences frequently end up evaluating films from a critical standpoint rather than enjoying them.

However, Behere pointed out that films like 'Dhurandhar' help break this habit. "Because of our experience, we often end up judging films as critics rather than simply enjoying them as audiences," she said. "But films like 'Dhurandhar' remind you to watch cinema as an audience member. When you do that, you feel, 'Wow, this is something different. Indian cinema is moving in an exciting direction.'" She added that she feels proud of these creative developments.
