While filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, before the release of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, said that the film would effectively obliterate the existing commercial, mass star vehicle templates. The director, after watching the film, has reiterated that it has done what he predicted it would do.

Taking to his social media platform, RGV said, "It is a horror for all filmmakers who built their careers and their fortunes on dumbed down, over the top cinema. The cinema that demanded the brain to be left at home. The cinema that was rammed down our throats full of LOUDNESS and MASALA which will be now soon on a ventilator struggling for breath."

Emphasising his previous point, he wrote that the film made all the "godly heroes will suddenly look ridiculous."

He further wrote, "When the audience of Dhurandhar 2 saw a hero whose power comes from his mind and not his biceps, the hair and costume school of cinema will look like kindergarten dress up."

Appreciating the filmmaker Aditya Dhar, RGV wrote that with Dhurandhar 2, Dhar has "cut off the head of that kind of cinema, the one that insulted the intelligence of the audience, the one that replaced stories with bloated gaudy visuals, the one that turned heroes into gods and audiences into sheep."

Dhurandhar 2, also starring Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi, and Danish Pandor, focuses on Hamza Ali Mazari (Ranveer) taking over the Karachi underworld after eliminating Akshaye Khanna's Rahman Dakait and penetrating deep into the underworld and politics to effectively thwart Pakistan's bid to destabilise India.
