Overview
- Varma’s latest post likens Aditya Dhar’s approach to Francis Ford Coppola’s, saying Dhurandhar proves intimate drama can operate more powerfully at scale.
- He lists takeaways such as violence that “hurts” the viewer, action designed as an emotional projection, fractured narratives that hold attention, and scale paired with restraint.
- He praises the film’s treatment of heroes as consequence-driven rather than glorified and notes its use of sound and music as lead psychological forces.
- Specific contributors earn acclaim, with action director Aejaz Gulab called “the finest I’ve seen in Indian cinema,” and Akshaye Khanna singled out for his screen presence.
- The Ranveer Singh–led ensemble remains a commercial and critical force, Dhar has engaged with Varma’s posts on X, and Part 2 is officially dated for March 19, 2026.
