Dhurandhar 2: Industry Silence Speaks Volumes, "Ram Gopal Varma Blasts Film Fraternity's Apathy"

Ram Gopal Varma has slammed the film industry's "loud silence" over Dhurandhar 2's phenomenal box office success, urging colleagues to study the film or risk being "buried forever in the graveyard of pre-March 19, 2026 cinema". The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, has shattered records, surpassing RRR's lifetime collection and grossing over ₹1,200 crore worldwide.

Varma took to X, calling out industry insiders for not publicly celebrating Dhurandhar 2's triumph. He questioned whether the silence stems from being stunned by the film's brilliance or dismissing it as propaganda. Varma advised filmmakers to treat Dhurandhar 2 as a masterclass, warning that ignoring it would be "extremely unwise".

The film's success has sparked debate, with some critics labeling it "propaganda". However, Varma defended Dhurandhar 2, saying it's not about propaganda, but about presenting a viewpoint. He urged critics to make their own films if they disagree.

Dhurandhar 2's impact extends beyond box office numbers, potentially changing the Indian film landscape. Varma believes it could mark the end of the "dinosaur era" of filmmaking, setting new standards for storytelling and production.
