Sandeep Reddy Vanga reviews the film

Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga praised the film and its team in a tweet. DHURANDHAR is built like a man who doesn’t talk much & carries a masculine spine.... DHURANDHAR The title fits because the film moves with dominance & fierce. The depiction is very clear with zero chaos. Music, performances, screenplay & direction are on the top. #AkshayKhanna sir and @RanveerOfficial erased into air & just disappeared into characters effortlessly 🙏🏻 Thank you @AdityaDharFilms for making everyone experience the true weight of untold sacrifices 🙏🏻.

Aditya Dhar’s response to Sandeep Reddy Vanga

Sandeep Reddy Vanga gave Dhurandhar a major shoutout, and Aditya Dhar responded, Thank you, my Dearest Sandeep. Coming from you, this means a great deal. I’ve always admired the fearlessness with which you stand by your cinema and your faith in unapologetic, masculine storytelling. Dhurandhar was shaped with sincerity, restraint, and conviction — your words give that journey its quiet validation. Grateful for voices like yours that keep Indian cinema honest, rooted, and strong. Two filmmakers, different paths—yet walking as brothers toward a stronger cinema and a braver tomorrow for our country. Cinema remembers the brave, not the agreeable. ??🙏

About Dhurandhar

The first look of Ranveer Singh from Dhurandhar sparked comparisons to Ranbir Kapoor's 2023 film Animal, but upon release, audiences recognized the distinct differences in premise and characters. Dhurandhar 2 is set to hit theaters on March 19, 2026, while Animal's sequel, Animal Park, is expected to begin production in 2027.

Dhurandhar 2 promises more action, grit, and espionage, with Ranveer Singh reprising his role as undercover agent Jaskirat/Hamza, targeting bigger players like ISI's Major Iqbal. The sequel explores Jaskirat's past, revealing his transformation into the spy.

Rakesh Bedi, who plays Jameel Jamali, hints at a darker character arc in the sequel. With Dhurandhar's success, Ranveer Singh is poised to join the elite ?1000 crore club, potentially delivering two blockbuster hits in quick succession.
