Ram Gopal Varma praised Ranveer for portraying a more real, flawed, and human hero -someone who bleeds, feels pain, and isn’t treated like a God. The filmmaker said he believes this kind of grounded, realistic storytelling and action will make old-style cinema (fake stunts, gravity-defying fights, “invincible” heroes) look ridiculous and outdated

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma called Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2), directed by Aditya Dhar, a game-changer for Indian cinema. A day after the film hit the big screens and earned over Rs 145 crore in India, Varma stated that the film is so impactful that it will scare filmmakers who rely on over-the-top, unrealistic “masala” movies with loud action and larger-than-life heroes.

He praised Ranveer for portraying a more real, flawed, and human hero -someone who bleeds, feels pain, and isn’t treated like a God. The filmmaker said he believes this kind of grounded, realistic storytelling and action will make old-style cinema (fake stunts, gravity-defying fights, “invincible” heroes) look ridiculous and outdated.

According to him, audiences will now reject exaggerated action and superficial characters and prefer intelligent, character-driven films. RGV called the film a “verdict,” as he feels it marks the end of mindless commercial cinema and pushes the industry toward smarter filmmaking.

The Rangeela filmmaker mentioned that Dhurandhar 2 could change audience expectations and force filmmakers to evolve - or become irrelevant.
