RGV says Dhurandhar 2 will destroy Pan India South films. Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar directed by Aditya Dhar created a sensation at the box office. Now movie lovers are waiting eagerly for the film's sequel Dhurandhar The Revenge which is releasing on 19 March 2026.
In the midst of all this, maverick director Ram Gopal Varma came up with a sensational prediction. He posted "“DHURANDAR 2 is an ASTEROID which might end the DINOSAUR era @AdityaDharFilms. Dhurandhar 2 has high chances of completely and permanently obliterating the pan-India south films movement by establishing a brand new benchmark with ultra-realistic making, genuine character depths, etc., that actually engage the audience’s brain while still delivering a raw visceral impact."
He added “Once audiences taste this new standard, every film currently under production in the previous masala style can become instantly endangered. Those ultra-big budgeted masala projects that are already deep into shooting or post-production will have an uphill task in competing with the new standards set,"
He continued “Producers who bet entire empires on the same previous formulaic making might face empty theatres and career-ending losses because of the high costs involved and the audience taste converting to the international standards. Directors married to the belief of ‘mass + vfx + scale + gravity-defying stunts = guaranteed hit’ will have no choice but to reinvent themselves by studying the Dhurandhar audiences."
He concluded “Superstars who were depending upon their god-like statuses resting solely on mindless hero worship will stand exposed in front of highly effective characters who grow to be heroes in the context of the story rather than already being hailed as heroes from frame one. Dhurandhar 2 is not just another film coming on March 19 th. It can be an ASTEROID STRIKE that might end the DINOSAUR ERA of filmmaking, which is full of sheer volume, fake heroism and the so-called masala treatment. The goal post has been changed, and so if the direction of the kick does not change, it might not only break the leg, but it might also lose the limb,"
