Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge has created a storm at the box office. The film opened with huge numbers, and its success has started a big debate in the film industry. Many filmmakers and trade experts believe the film could change the way action movies are made in Bollywood.
Director Ram Gopal Varma is one of the strongest supporters of the film. After the record-breaking opening, he shared several posts on social media praising the film and its realistic style. He also said that the success of Dhurandhar 2 could be a warning for filmmakers who still depend on loud, unrealistic action scenes.
The film has already crossed Rs 100 crore in India in just one day and reportedly went past Rs 200 crore worldwide. After this massive start, the film is on track to set new box office records in the coming days.
RGV Calls Dhurandhar 2 A ‘Horror’ For Formula Cinema
Ram Gopal Varma took to X to praise director Aditya Dhar and actor Ranveer Singh. He said the film is a shock for those who make over-the-top commercial movies.
He wrote, “Dhurandhar2 is a HORROR. It is a horror for all filmmakers who built their careers and their fortunes on dumbed-down, over-the-top cinema. The cinema that demanded the brain to be left at home. The cinema that was rammed down our throats full of LOUDNESS and MASALA, which will be now soon on a ventilator struggling for breath.”
The Sarkar director also criticised unrealistic action scenes that ignore logic and physics. Without naming anyone, he pointed at films where heroes perform unrealistic stunts.
He said, “#Dhurandhar2 will terrify those who built their careers on action set pieces where physics is a joke, and gravity is non-existent. The scenes, where men are thrown fifty feet in the air, bounce off the ground like rubber balls.”
Varma further praised Ranveer Singh’s character and said the film shows a different kind of hero. He added, “In Dhurandhar 2, Ranveer Singh killed all those heroes who never bleed, and never feel pain, and then over the dead bodies of those kind of outdated heroes, he gave birth to a true real hero, flawed, yet dangerous and unpredictable and also his heroism comes from his actions instead of being thrusted upon the heads with ear drum shattering music.”
DON'T MISS
He also warned filmmakers who are still making similar films. RGV said, “If the makers of those kind of films, which are already under production, or about to start shooting, don’t go back to their drawing boards and exorcise themselves by watching #Dhurandhar2 multiple times, even GOD can’t save their SPRITS. But the problem is, even if they intend to do that, they might have tonnes of money, but where will they get the brain of Aditya Dhar Films?”
