Nagarjuna on 'Dhurandhar‌ 2': A film that inspires and changes filmmaking

Telugu star Nagarjuna lauds Dhurandhar: The Revenge, calling it an inspirational film that changes filmmaking. Read industry reactions.

"This is one of those films that inspires and changes filmmaking!! - Nagarjuna"

Mumbai, March 23

Telugu superstar Nagarjuna has lauded the box-office extravaganza 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', which is currently unstoppable at the box-office. He called the film an inspiration and a major change defining the road ahead for Indian cinema.

On Monday, the veteran actor took to his X, formerly Twitter, and shared a long note praising the film and its team.

He wrote, "Saw this incredible film called #Dhurandhar‌TheRevenge !!! What a ride ! It just blew my mind and I can't stop thinking about it. This is one of those films that inspires and changes filmmaking!! Heartiest congratulations to this inspiring director @AdityaDharFilms and also to the entire technical team, including camera, music, sound design, action, art".

He further mentioned, "A big shoutout to all the ACTORS you were all so brilliant. So proud to say @AnnapurnaStdios Hyderabad has processed Dolby Cinema for the film and South Indian languages localisation. @DolbyIn @CVRao74 #ANRSoundAndVision".

'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', directed by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh, has emerged as one of the biggest box-office juggernauts in recent Indian cinema. The response has been overwhelmingly strong across markets. The film registered high occupancy rates, multiple sold-out shows, and strong traction in dubbed versions, indicating pan-India appeal.

Industry figures like Ayushmann Khurrana and Anupam Kher praised its scale and performances, while critics highlighted its spectacle-driven storytelling. Ram Gopal Varma called its success a disruption to traditional filmmaking norms.

Culturally, the 'Dhurandhar' franchise has evolved into a mass phenomenon. Its blend of hyper-stylized action, nationalism, and star power has resonated strongly with audiences, reflecting current cinematic trends. Viral moments, music, and even off-screen incidents have amplified its reach, turning it into more than just a film, a conversation driver.

The sequel solidifies the franchise as a defining force in modern Bollywood spectacle cinema. However, the film has also riled up one section of the audience with many claiming it to be pro-establishment propaganda.

The technical team deserves all the praise. The sound design and Dolby Atmos experience in the theatre gave me goosebumps! It's great to see a pan-India film getting this level of technical polish.

While the spectacle is undeniable, I have to respectfully disagree with calling it an inspiration for filmmaking. The story felt very thin, just a vehicle for the action. Great for a one-time watch with friends, but will we remember the characters in a year? Not sure.

The dubbed Telugu version is running housefull in Hyderabad! Amazing to see a Bollywood film getting this kind of love down South. Annapurna Studios doing the localization is a smart move. More films should do this for true pan-India reach.

It's become a cultural event, yaar. Everyone in my office is talking about it, the songs are trending, memes are everywhere. Whether you love it or hate it, you can't ignore it. That's the power of cinema.

The article mentions it's riled up some people. I think that's inevitable when a film wears its patriotism on its sleeve. For me, it was just a fun, over-the-top action movie. Sometimes we just need to enjoy the paisa vasool entertainment without over-analysing! 😊
