The Indian film industry is abuzz as filmmaker Karan Johar has officially shared his glowing review of the high-octane sequel, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. After expressing his “FOMO” (fear of missing out) earlier this month due to a busy shooting schedule, the Dharma Productions head finally caught the Aditya Dhar directorial and did not hold back in his praise.
In a detailed social media post that has since gone viral, Johar described the film as a monumental achievement in mainstream Hindi cinema, specifically highlighting the “impeccable craft” and “cinematic prowess” of director Aditya Dhar.
A Return to the Golden Era
Johar’s review struck a nostalgic chord, as he compared the experience of watching Dhurandhar 2 to the “pure, solid Hindi cinema” of the 1970s. He noted that the film reminded him of the days he spent watching movies in single-screen theaters—an experience that originally inspired him to join the film fraternity.
“I came out satiated and dreamt of being a part of this business… today I am a part of the fraternity and Dhurandhar reminded me of how proud and grateful I am to be here today,” Johar wrote.
Beyond ‘Alpha Energy’
While the film has sparked intense online debates regarding its “hyper alpha energy” and “testosterone-driven” narrative, Johar offered a more nuanced perspective. He acknowledged the discourse but argued that the film’s true strength lies in its emotional core. He specifically pointed to the “heart-wrenching” backstory of the protagonist, Jaskirat, and the “humanization” of the antagonist as elements that elevate the movie beyond a standard action thriller.
Ranveer Singh: “An Artist for the Ages”
The highlight of the review was Johar’s exuberant praise for lead actor Ranveer Singh. After witnessing Singh’s portrayal of the undercover spy Jaskirat Singh Rangi (alias Hamza), Johar labeled it the actor’s “career-best work.”
On Performance: Johar praised Singh’s ability to balance “undeniable swag” with moments of quiet vulnerability.
On Legacy: He referred to Singh as a “True Dhurandhar Movie Star” and an “artist of huge caliber for the ages.”
Box Office Juggernaut
The filmmaker’s endorsement comes at a time when Dhurandhar 2 is already rewriting record books. Following its release on March 19, 2026, the film has seen a historic run, eyeing the ₹1,000 crore mark globally.
The ensemble cast, which includes heavyweights like Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, and Sara Arjun, has been widely lauded for supporting a narrative that combines gritty underworld politics with deep-rooted patriotism.
As the industry celebrates this “new benchmark” in filmmaking, Karan Johar’s review serves as a significant seal of approval from one of Bollywood’s most influential voices, further cementing Dhurandhar 2 as the definitive cinematic event of the year. To know such
