When it comes to dirty politics, nobody does it better than the cast of Dhurala. While the eldest son believes he is fit to fight for the title of the village sarpanch, not everybody wants to be a part of that narrative. While politics is a dirty game of its own, adding the spice of family integration is genius. That’s why the twists and turns throughout are amplified when the family is involved.
