Mumbai, April 9 - The debate around all-time box office blockbuster Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge refuses to die down, but filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga has stepped in firmly in support of the film and its director Aditya Dhar. As the film faces criticism from certain sections, accusing it of pushing a political narrative, Vanga dismissed the noise and instead praised the film for its storytelling and execution.

SRV Comes Out in Support, Calls It an "Outstanding Film"

Reacting to the ongoing discourse, Vanga didn't mince words. He described Dhurandhar 2 as an "outstanding film", applauding Dhar's vision and conviction. According to him, cinema should not be restricted by labels or external narratives, and filmmakers must be free to tell stories they believe in.

Taking to the X, Vanga blasted off propaganda gang, while calling out their hypocrisy. "Writers & actors built careers on propaganda, and the industry stayed quiet like cats. Now the same clan mocks Dhurandhar. You don't get to call yourself liberal if your first instinct is to Mock. Don't know when truth started getting labelled as propaganda...... strange times", he said.

Talking about the film, Vanga said that he watched it last night and called it an outstanding film. "COMING TO THE POINT..... I want to tell @AdityaDharFilms & @RanveerOfficial yeh kaala drishti aise nahi jaayega... Muthi bhar ke laal mirch se kaam nahi chalega.... poora khet jalana padega 🔥 Watched #Dhurandhar2‌TheRevenge last night.... Outstanding film".

The Propaganda Debate

Since its release, Dhurandhar 2 has sparked conversations around whether it leans into propaganda. While critics argue that the film carries a certain ideological tone, supporters claim it is simply a hard-hitting narrative rooted in realism and creative interpretation. Vanga's backing adds weight to the latter argument, especially given his reputation for making bold and unapologetic films.

Industry Voices Matter

Support from a filmmaker like Sandeep Reddy Vanga is significant, as he himself is no stranger to polarising reactions. His endorsement signals a larger conversation within the film industry about creative freedom and audience interpretation. Meanwhile, Aditya Dhar has remained largely focused on the film's reception, letting the audience response speak louder than the controversy.

Whether one sees Dhurandhar 2 as provocative or powerful, there's no denying that it has struck a chord, and the box office numbers are proof of that. The film continues to storm the box office and is heading towards 1700 crores worldwide. With influential voices like Vanga stepping in, the film's cultural and cinematic impact continues to grow.
