Dhurandhar 2 is better than the first film: SS Rajamouli
SS Rajamouli wrote on ‘I liked Dhurandhar 1 very much, but ‘The Revenge’ left the first film behind both in terms of canvas and heart. The writing, the casting, the technical work, the music, the world design and direction, everything is impeccable… but what really keeps it grounded are its emotional aspects. Its writing has managed to bring such twists in the story that create a true tension full of emotions. Aditya Dhar, you have done wonders. Making a 4 hour long film and releasing it takes a lot of courage. The audience remains glued to their seats until the last frame.
