Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma took to his X (formerly Twitter) to post another note about Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The Ranveer Singh-starrer, which hit screens on March 19 with paid premieres on March 18, is all anyone can talk about. RGV writes in his note that the film is a ‘horror’ for all filmmakers who made cinema that demanded the brain to be left at home.

He also stated that the film will ‘scare the living hell’ out of filmmakers who ‘worship the godly hero’. RGV mentions how Ranveer’s character in Dhurandhar 2 is a ‘true hero’ who is flawed, dangerous and unpredictable, yet bleeds and feels pain. “Compared to this new kind of hero, the godly heroes will suddenly look ridiculous, almost like clowns in a circus. And then their blind worshippers will feel naked, exposed and scared hearing of the collections,” he added.

RGV also called out filmmakers who built careers over action set pieces that defy physics and gravity. “After the audience saw action that actually hurts, that actually bleeds, the flying goon brigade will suddenly feel cheap, fake, and embarrassingly ridiculous. The filmmakers who still swear by wires and cranes to fake uplift the heroes will now wake up shivering in cold sweat,” he wrote, calling out ‘pan Indian directors’ who depend on six packs and costumes. “When the audience of #Dhurandhar2 saw a hero whose power comes from his mind and not his biceps, the hair and costume school of cinema will look like kindergarten dress up.”

He took the collections of Dhurandhar 2 as proof of how things are changing. “The collections of #Dhurandhar2 are now in the process of burying all those earlier makers beliefs in a grave so deep that even their ghosts can’t come out. And the screams you are hearing now of #Dhurandhar2 box office collections is the collective sound which is announcing their deaths,” he wrote.

RGV ended his note by stating that even if filmmakers go back to their drawing boards after watching Dhurandhar 2, they might not have the brain that Aditya Dhar does. According to Sacnilk, Dhurandhar 2 collected ₹145.55 crore net in India from its premieres and opening day collections.

Aditya Dhar‘s Dhurandhar The Revenge has become a sensation. The sequel to Dhurandhar, which was released last year in December, has been receiving immense love from audiences and has also recorded a bumper start at the box office. Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan has now shared his opinion on the film after watching it, adding that Aditya Dhar has ‘delivered beyond expectations.’

He then said that the phenomenon of this film should not be seen as a threat. He added, “This should not be considered as a threat but a healthy and much needed revolution in storytelling and entertainment. It was about time, and Aditya Dhar has delivered beyond expectations! God bless and more power to you, Aditya!”

Meanwhile, the maker of the film hosted a special screening for the cast and crew where Aditya Dhar delivered a special message for the cast. He said, “Thanks to those who believed in me, starting from Jyoti Deshpande, and of course, my HODs, my cast members, actors, and everyone who has given their heart and soul to the film. I am overwhelmed with all the responses coming in and even the memes. But I genuinely want to thank everyone for being here, supporting us, and being part of this journey. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you so much.”

Dhurandhar was set in Lyari, Karachi, an area known for its history of gang wars and violent turf battles. It revolved around covert intelligence operations in the background of geopolitical and terror events like the Kandahar plane hijack, the 2001 Parliament Attack and the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

The sequel charts the rise of Ranveer’s character, Hamza Ali Mazari, in the Karachi underworld, while also delving into his origins as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, tracing the journey of the young man who eventually becomes a covert operative. It also stars R Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi, Sara Arjun, and Arjun Rampal.

As ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’, helmed by Aditya Dhar, continues to perform strongly at the box office, actress Ayesha Khan took a moment to look back on her journey with the franchise. Ayesha got a lot of love for her track ‘Shararat’ from ‘Dhurandhar’ which featured her alongside Krystle D’souza. Now just as the second part has released, the actress wrapped up her journey on the film with a heartfelt note for the team. Ayesha attended the special screening of ‘Dhurandhar 2’ on March 19 and posted a series of pictures from the evening. Reflecting on her experience, she thanked her co-stars and the entire team while celebrating the film’s widespread impact.
