The acclaimed filmmaker criticizes the film industry’s quiet response to Dhurandhar 2, calling it a “loud silence” and challenging critics who dismiss the film as propaganda.

He questions whether industry peers are stunned by the film’s brilliance or simply suppressing their opinions, likening Dhurandhar 2 to a dinosaur breathing fire at the box office.

Varma frames Dhurandhar 2 as a disruptive, influential film whose box-office success warrants critical attention from industry colleagues.

The cast includes Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun, with the protagonist experiencing significant personal losses on his mission.

Varma’s praise for the film continues on X (formerly Twitter), where he has repeatedly lauded Dhurandhar 2 since viewing it.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar and led by Ranveer Singh, follows Hamza Ali Mazari’s rise through Lyari’s political and underworld circles as he targets a Pakistan-based terror network.

Dhurandhar 2, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, has been breaking box-office records since its March release.

The film grossed over ₹1,200 crore worldwide and earned more than ₹770 crore net in India, earning praise from some celebrities despite limited public industry support.

Varma has repeatedly praised Dhurandhar 2 and Aditya Dhar, calling it a new cinema benchmark and comparing it to iconic works.

Public praise for the film comes from figures like SS Rajamouli, Karan Johar, and Alia Bhatt, contrasting with a generally quiet industry reaction.
