In a recent interview, veteran actor Paresh Rawal heaped praise on Dhurandhar: The Revenge, calling it more than just a film and describing it as a “saga.” He expressed deep admiration for director Aditya Dhar’s storytelling and the layered narrative of the film. Rawal revealed that he was so impressed after watching both parts that he wished he had been a part of the project, even jokingly telling the filmmaker that he would have loved to play a role—possibly as a relative of a key character. He also appreciated the detailing and depth in the sequel, highlighting how the film offers multiple layers that audiences can discover upon viewing.

Dhurandhar 2 director Aditya Dhar took to X to share a long post for film editor Shiv Kumar Panicker. He wrote, "Some relationships in filmmaking aren’t built on a single film, they’re built over years of trust, instinct, and standing by each other when it matters the most. Shiv has been that for me and much more. He is not just my editor. He is my closest friend, my brother, my confidant, the kind of person whose loyalty is so absolute, it humbles you. The kind of person who would stand for you, fight for you and if it ever came to it, even lay everything on the line for you. And then there’s the genius. Shiv is, without a doubt, one of the sharpest and smartest film editors I have ever known."

Sara Arjun wrote further in her post, "This post is dedicated to the unsung heroes of Dhurandhar 1 & 2. To the captain of the ship, @adityadharfilms and his direction team: the architects of our focus, who tirelessly worked to take this dream to the screen. To the producers and the production team, @dhar_lokesh Jyoti ma’am, @officialjiostudios @b62studios weathering the storms so we could stand in the light. To our DOP, @vik_now and camera team, who captured scale and soul in every frame. To our casting director, @castingchhabra and casting team, who set out looking for the right faces but ended up nailing the cast down to the very heartbeat. To the costume designer, @smriti.schauhan and makeup designers @preetisheel and their teams, who wove history into fabric and painted stories onto our skin, giving us identities that we immersed ourselves in. To @shashwatology, the singers, lyricists, and background score, who created the pulse of this film. To the editor, @shivkumarpanicker, and VFX team, as well as @ojas_gautam, who sculpted time and defied nature, taking our performances to the limits of reality. To the production design team, who built this sprawling universe from the ground up while the world wasn’t watching. To the safety and stunt crews, who traded their safety for ours, so we could look invincible on screen. To the lighting, sound, and spot teams, who were the first to arrive and the last to leave: the first light of dawn and the last glimmer as the sun sets."

Dhurandhar’s dominance was felt at last night's Chetak Screen Awards 2026. During the ceremony, host and stand-up comedian Zakir Khan shared, "Main technicians key saath khada tha wo keh rhey they ki saare awards Dhurandhar ko dena hai to humein bulaya kyun hai, technician k saath baithan sabse badiya rehta hai ki chalo is baar award to mila payment nahi mil rahi to kam sey kam is baar award to mila. (I was standing with some technicians, and they were saying, 'If all the awards are going to Dhurandhar anyway, why were we even invited?)' They were like, 'Fine, we didn’t get paid this time, but at least we got an award).'” READ MORE
