What is Vastu Shanti Hawan?Vastu Shanti Hawan is a traditional Hindu ritual performed to harmonise the energies of a home, building or land, according to Vastu Shastra. Vastu Shastra is the ancient Indian science of architecture. The ceremony involves a sacred fire (hawan or homa) where priests chant Vedic mantras and offer herbs, ghee, grains and other sacred items into the fire. It is conducted to remove negative energies, correct Vastu doshas and invite peace, prosperity, health and positive vibrations. Vastu Shanti Hawan is commonly performed before entering a new home, after renovations or when facing persistent difficulties. Filmfare's Dhurandhar reviewOur reviewer gave the movie 3.5 out of 5 stars. Opening up about Akshaye's performance, he mentioned, "If Dhurandhar has a true scene-stealer, it is Akshaye Khanna. As the Karachi crime-lord inspired by Rehman Dakait, Khanna is magnetic, calm, unsettling, and wickedly intelligent. He embodies the antagonist not as a stock villain but as a sinister presence who dominates every frame he occupies. There is elegance in his menace, a precision in his unpredictability that elevates the film each time he appears. It is one of those performances that reminds viewers why Khanna remains one of Hindi cinema's most compelling, if underutilised, actors."Also Read: Akshay Kumar Says THIS About Akshaye Khanna's Performance in Dhurandhar
