Dhurandhar 2 First Review Out: Ram Gopal Varma Says ‘It Makes Mughal-e-Azam Feel Like a TV Show’

The first reactions to Dhurandhar: The Revenge are finally here, and they are nothing short of explosive. Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who attended a preview screening of the film, has come out with a glowing review, placing the sequel among the biggest cinematic spectacles ever made.

RGV, who had earlier praised the first instalment of Dhurandhar upon its release in December 2025, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his thoughts after watching the sequel. In his trademark unfiltered style, the director compared the scale of the film to iconic classics like Sholay and Mughal-e-Azam, stating that Dhurandhar: The Revenge makes them “feel like a TV show.”

He further amplified his praise by calling upon global filmmaking legends Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan to experience the film on its opening day — a statement that has only added to the growing buzz around the project.

Set for a Gigantic Opening

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is all set to hit theatres on March 19 across Hindi and multiple South Indian languages, with paid preview shows scheduled to begin from March 18.

The film boasts a powerful ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, and Sanjay Dutt, all reprising key roles in what promises to be a high-stakes continuation of the franchise.

Speaking at a recent promotional event, Ranveer Singh acknowledged the unprecedented excitement surrounding the sequel, noting that the scale of anticipation has surpassed anything the team has witnessed before.

Backed by extraordinary advance bookings and record-breaking pre-release trends, Dhurandhar: The Revenge is now firmly on course for a gigantic opening at the box office, with industry expectations soaring to historic levels.
