The success of Dhurandhar 2 (Dhurandhar The Revenge) continues to make headlines. The film is not only breaking box office records but also getting strong reactions from celebrities and fans. The latest discussion started after superstar Rajinikanth praised the film on social media. His post went viral, but it also left many netizens disappointed.
The spy action thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, has received huge appreciation from audiences. Many film stars have also supported the movie openly. However, Rajinikanth’s reaction created debate online, as some users did not agree with his opinion.
Rajinikanth Praises Dhurandhar 2, Calls It A Must-Watch
On March 23, Rajinikanth shared his review on X (formerly Twitter) after watching the film. He wrote, “What a film … #Dhurandhar2 !!! Aditya Dhar (hats off emoticon) box office -ka baap (father of the box office) !!! Many congratulations to Ranveer and the entire cast and crew. A must-watch film for every indian. Jai Hind.”
His post quickly went viral. Many fans were happy to see one of India’s biggest stars praising the film. Actors like Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu, Akshay Kumar and Vijay Deverakonda have also praised the movie in the past few days.
Still, some social media users were unhappy with Rajinikanth’s comments. One user wrote, “Sir ur one of the most respected person in TN if u have political pressure to promote the propaganda film, at least don’t agree to it.”
DON'T MISS
Another commented, “Wow Anna, I did not expect this from you. I mean, you are also supporting the propaganda, well, it is good that everyone’s real face has come out. The purpose of making a film is to show the truth, but in this film Dhurandhar 2, there are only props. We have seen Dhurandhar 1. It was a good film. There was no propaganda, but this time, there was only one shortcoming, Modi ji could not do our acting, we just missed it. If he had been there, then the film would have been a blockbuster.”
A third user said, “Rajinikanth sold out. Or does he like such a fictional movie?”
One more added, “Don’t speak like GHAJINI. Remember you are RAJINI.”
A user shared, “You have become old now … You are not able to analyse at all. I still remember you said demonetisation was the masterstroke in 2016. Sir, you are a senior. Please, it’s not necessary to comment on every issue.”
Aditya Dhar’s Reaction And Film’s BO Success
Despite the online criticism, the film continues to perform strongly at the box office. Dhurandhar 2 (officially titled Dhurandhar The Revenge) was released on March 19, 2026. The film follows Indian operative Jaskirat Singh Rangi, played by Ranveer Singh, who goes undercover in Pakistan to destroy a terror network. The story mixes action, emotion and patriotism, which many viewers have liked.
Reacting to Rajinikanth’s praise, director Aditya Dhar shared an emotional message. He wrote, “Sir, we’ve all grown up measuring “entertainment” with just one benchmark, YOU. Making us whistle, laugh, cry and feel larger than life for decades and still doing it with the same swag and grace, that’s pure magic. So for you to call Dhurandhar 2 a “must watch” feels like the biggest ‘superstar’ moment of my life. It feels like a blessing from the very person who taught us all to dream bigger. Grateful beyond words, Sir. This one is going straight to the heart. Jai Hind.”
Meanwhile, the film has achieved a huge milestone at the box office. In just five days, Dhurandhar 2 has crossed the Rs 500 crore net mark in India
