Dhurandhar 2 Review: A Roller-Coaster Ride Elevated by Ranveer Singh's Brilliance, Aditya Dhar's Undoubtable Restraint

Ranveer Singh's performance stands out, but the film receives a 2-star rating due to mostly underwhelming action scenes and blunt political dialogue, critics say.

  • Soon, Dhurandhar 2 received a two-star rating as critics said the nearly four-hour film fails to recapture the first film's 'mazaa', though Ranveer Singh anchors slow stretches.
  • Reviewers say the sequel continues a mix of storytelling and propaganda, reusing political messaging from the first film, which relied on extreme violence and hyper-nationalism.
  • Supporting players feature action set-pieces with bombs, guns, and jeeps dominated by men, while Sara Arjun delivers key scenes and Gaurav Gera has a focused embedded-handler moment.
  • Despite criticism, a surprisingly moving coda leaves the door open for more adventures after part one generated strong box-office gains and audience anticipation.
  • Reviewers argue the film’s politically charged dialogue referencing Pakistan and inconsistent CBFC censoring drew criticism, while sabre-rattling hyper-nationalism and macho imagery felt excessive and tiring.
