The hype around Dhurandhar: The Revenge has just hit another level—and this time, it’s coming straight from filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma. After attending a preview screening of the Ranveer Singh-led sequel, the director didn’t hold back, delivering an explosive reaction that’s now making waves across the industry.
And in true RGV style, the praise wasn’t just big—it was massive, bold, and impossible to ignore.
“A New Cinematic Order”: RGV Goes All In
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Ram Gopal Varma described Dhurandhar: The Revenge as something far beyond a typical blockbuster. According to him, the film isn’t just entertaining—it’s redefining how cinema is experienced.
He compared its impact to legendary Indian films like Sholay and Mughal-e-Azam, but with a twist—claiming the sequel operates on a scale that multiplies their influence many times over.
For RGV, the film’s power lies in its “psychological audio-visual impact,” its ability to break cinematic grammar, and the kind of audience euphoria it’s expected to generate. In his words, this isn’t just another hit—it’s the beginning of a completely new era in filmmaking.
Spielberg and Nolan Get a Direct Invitation
What truly caught attention, though, was RGV’s unexpected shoutout to two of the biggest names in global cinema—Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan.
In a dramatic flourish, he suggested that both filmmakers should drop everything and watch Dhurandhar: The Revenge on its opening day. It’s the kind of statement only RGV could make—and one that instantly amplified the conversation around the film.
He even went as far as saying that the meaning of the word “director” could be redefined by Aditya Dhar’s work here.
Ranveer Singh’s Sequel Riding Massive Buzz
Directed by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar: The Revenge arrives with enormous expectations. The first film wasn’t just a hit—it turned into a global juggernaut, collecting around ₹1300 crore worldwide and becoming one of India’s highest-grossing films.
Now, the sequel seems ready to build on that momentum.
The film also features a strong ensemble cast including Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Sara Arjun—adding more weight to an already high-stakes project.
Box Office Buzz Signals a Massive Opening
Even before its official release, the numbers are painting a blockbuster picture. Paid previews have already crossed the 10 lakh ticket mark, and early estimates suggest a massive opening day.
Industry projections indicate ₹35–40 crore from Hindi markets alone, while preview collections could touch ₹45–50 crore—especially impressive considering it’s rolling out mid-week.
In an unusual move for North India, theatres in cities like Mumbai, Pune, and Ahmedabad have even scheduled post-midnight and early-morning shows—something typically reserved for major South Indian releases.
Final Words
With sky-high expectations, aggressive box office projections, and now a headline-grabbing endorsement from Ram Gopal Varma, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is entering theatres with serious momentum.
Whether it truly lives up to the “new cinematic order” tag remains to be seen—but one thing is certain: this is no ordinary release.
And come opening day, all eyes will be on how audiences respond when the noise turns into numbers.
