Imagine the mayhem he is gonna create with #dhurandhar2 where the act is supposed to be larger than life and full of aura-farming, if the finale of #dhurandhar is anything to go by. Another Box Office Monster loading…"
Ram Gopal Varma cannot stop praising Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar. He added a tweet that read, "#dhurandhar will be like a HORROR FILM for all those FILM MAKERS who do not have the ability to make a film with such BRILLIANCE, INTELLIGENCE, INTEGRITY and CRAFT."
Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar makers Jio Studios shared video and wrote along, "Not just jingle bells, this Christmas we're also vibing to Ramba Ho...Ho...Ho with Dhurandhar. Dhurandhar Ruling Cinemas Worldwide."
Dhurandhar trailer changed the conversation when it arrived last month. It was dissected for the violence it showed, praised for its music and dissected over how the film's lead actor appeared in only 1 minute of its 4-minute length. The film's opening-day figure of Rs 28 crore can be traced to the buzz created by this first look. It was created by filmmaker Aditya Dhar, his brother-in-law Ojas Gautam, and the team at MA+TH Entertainment. In an exclusive conversation with SCREEN, several trailer-editing creatives discuss the art of crafting a trailer and explain why the Dhurandhar trailer was a gamechanger. READ MORE
X page @letsxCinematica shared, "No Pan India release. No Gulf release. An A rated film. And yet, #dhurandhar is the highest grossing Indian film of 2025 globally. A terrific long run everywhere, with Part 2 set to do the unthinkable."
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma went on to add, "Everyone of us experienced an incident like we going to visit someone’s house and we see a large scary looking dog which keeps staring at us .. Inspite of the owner assuring it’s harmless and advises us to ignore it , the tension will remain and will keep growing and we can’t resist seeing it from the corner of our eyes .. #durandhar will be like that monstrous dog which will be invisibly pacing around in every production office wherever the upcoming biggies are being made .. They will try their level best to even avoid uttering the dog’s name, but it will keep loitering in all their minds ..To that extent #dhurandhar will actually be like a HORROR film for all those makers who believed in the earlier template of VFX ridden , expensive sets , item song ridden and the Hero worship template ..And now in #dhurandhar with the film being worshipped instead of the star, they would be getting crucified in their own self created dungeon of masala films .. But no matter how much they wish the dog won’t go away .. it will be here to bite whenever their next film releases. More than anything else @AdityaDharFilms is forcing the industry people to look at their own films in the mirror, in comparison to the beautiful looking #dhurandhar."
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma took to X to post on Thursday, "Whenever a path breaking and monstrous hit like #dhurandhar comes , the industry people will wish to ignore it because they will feel threatened by it due to their inability to match it’s standards ..So they will think of it as a nightmare, which will vanish when they wake up in their own films This is even more true of all the so called pan india biggies which are right now under various stages of production.. They were all written and mounted , modelled on the films made before #dhurandhar which is the exact opposite of what they all believed will work .. what’s even more worrisome is that #dhurandhar apart from being a omega hit also is the most discussed film since the last 50 years."
Dhurandhar has been enjoying an uninterrupted run at the box office so far but with little competition by Dharma Productions' Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, will the film's collection will be affected? Trade analyst Taran Adarsh told DNA that Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday film is a completely different genre and added, "It's a rom-com. It depends on what the content is...I genuinely feel that, Kartik enjoys a good following among the youth. For the sake of the industry, we need a good closure for 2025...The last release - of course, the last major release - that is Kartik's film. I hope it works."
While it was rumoured that Ranveer Singh walked away from Don 3 after Dhurandhar's success, sources have dismissed the walkout narrative, and are now claiming that he was dropped by the makers. A report by India Today claimed, "Ranveer Singh hasn’t walked out of Don 3 like the rumour mills claim. It’s actually an entirely different story. To start with, Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar offered him Don 3 after he had delivered three colossal flops. They stood by him even after Sanjay Leela Bhansali shelved Baiju Bawra because he was considered not saleable at the time."
Trade tracker Sacnilk shared a detailed comparison between Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar and Ranbir Kapoor's Animal. Calling both films 'All Time Blockbusters', they shared Dhurandhar's worldwide collection, which now stants at Rs 935.75 crore. The lifetime collection of Animal was Rs 915 crore.
