Nag Ashwin’s review of Dhurandhar 2
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Nag wrote, “The genius of Aditya Dhar really shines in the beginning and ending of Dhurandhar 2. Beyond all the action and explosion, it is the mother’s hug and the longing for that hug, that hit hardest.”
He continued, “Ranveer Singh always vanishing into his roles. Always raising the bar. Congratulations to the team for becoming India’s highest grossing film.”
Dhurandhar has taken its domestic collections to ₹872 crore net ( ₹1042 crore gross) after 12 days. It stands behind only two pan-India films – Pushpa 2 and Baahubali 2 – in terms of domestic box office collections.
About Dhurandhar: The Revenge
The first film was a spy thriller set in Pakistan in the early 2000s. It follows an Indian operative, played by Ranveer, who infiltrates the Lyari gangs in Karachi. The film draws from real incidents, with both Akshaye Khanna and Sanjay Dutt playing characters inspired by real individuals. Parents of Indian spy Major Mohit Sharma had moved court alleging the film was based on their son’s life, but the makers denied it. An examination by the CBFC found no link between the film and Major Sharma.
The sequel tells the origin story of Ranveer Singh’s character, Jaskirat Singh Rangi, and explores why he transforms into the spy Hamza Ali Mazari. It also shows how Hamza rises through the ranks of Lyari’s underworld and political structure to become a kingpin while carrying out his mission to dismantle the terror network in Pakistan.
The film also stars Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun in lead roles, along with Danish Pandor, Udaybir Sandhu and others in key roles. It also features a cameo by Aditya Dhar’s wife and actor Yami Gautam.
