Dhurandhar: The Revenge, while proving to be a box office juggernaut (It is inching close to Rs 1,400 crore at the global box office), is also earning both praise for its filmmaking and criticism for being a “propaganda” vehicle. Kalki 2898 AD director Nag Ashwin is now the latest celebrity who has reviewed the film and lauded its performances and direction.
Taking to his Instagram stories, Nag wrote, “The genius of Aditya Dhar really shines in the beginning and ending of Dhurandhar 2. Beyond all the action and explosion, it is the mother's hug and the longing for that hug, that hit hardest.”
He continued, “Ranveer Singh always vanishing into his roles. Always raising the bar. Congratulations to the team for becoming India's highest grossing film.”
Dhurandhar 2 has taken its domestic collections to Rs 872 crore net ( Rs 1,042 crore gross) after 12 days. It stands behind only two pan-India films - Pushpa 2 and Baahubali 2 - in terms of domestic box office collections.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar: The Revenge also stars Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi and Sara Arjun in pivotal roles.
