“Sonu Sood ji, I didn't expect this from you. Is this a paid post? Are you getting paid to praise the movie, or is it something else?” one social media user asked.
Another joined him, “Sonu Sood smiling? Really? Dhurandhar 2 had me rolling my eyes at the endless propaganda parade disguised as 'great cinema.' Aditya Dhar wins over with jingoism & clap-traps, not depth. Thrills? Sure. Substance? Missing in action. Respect earned? Debatable, brother.”
“Absolutely agree! Dhurandhar 2 doesn’t just entertain. It connects on a deeper level. Big shoutout to Aditya Dhar for delivering cinema that truly resonates,” commented yet another.
A fourth expressed, “Some films impress…some win you over.”
“Aditya Dhar has a knack for blending emotion with intensity - rare and refreshing. Another solid reminder why Aditya Dhar stands out in today’s cinema.”
Dhurandhar 2, which has greatly benefited from the success of its first instalment, has already crossed the Rs 500 crore mark in India and is nearing Rs 700 crore worldwide within days of its release. With this strong performance, the film is now expected to surpass the box office record set by Dhurandhar. According to data from Sacnilk, it also became the first Hindi film to collect Rs 100 crore net in a single day and then repeat the feat with another Rs 100 crore net day.
The film earned Rs 43 crore from paid preview shows on Day 0. Since then, it has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark on most days, except for Day 2, when it collected Rs 80.72 crore.
