Ramya slams Ranveer Singh`s Dhurandhar 2
The highly awaited sequel to Ranveer Singh's spy thriller Dhurandhar was released on 18th March, and since then, it has been the subject of constant buzz. Several actors and celebrities have taken to social media to praise the film. However, actress and former politician Ramya is unhappy with the Aditya Dhar directorial. She took to her X account to call Dhurandhar 2 a propaganda film.
Ramya wrote, "Just watched Dhurandhar 2 and wow! What a masterclass in how to turn something promising into an endurance test. It's like reading a textbook of the most boring subject with never-ending chapters, and at some point, your brain just gives up and starts laughing out of sheer despair at the atrocity unfolding in front of you."
She added, "If you really want to watch it, do yourself a favour, don't waste your time or money in a theatre. Direction, dialogues, editing, background score, acting all consistently subpar. It genuinely feels like no one told them there was a March 19 release deadline approaching. Or worse, they knew and said, âHaan perfect hai, bhej do.' In Dhurandhar (Part 1), people were hooting, clapping. There was energy. There was engagement. This one- the audience was having none of it. You could feel the collective disappointment in the theatre."
Ramya continued, "And the violence!!! This isn't a movie; it's basically a visual handbook on how creatively violent you can get with literally any object lying around. Syringe? Used. Spanner? Used. Knives, spiked balls, machetes, reapers, chains, guns, bombs, bazookas, shutters -you name it, they've weaponised it. The director seems to be in a constant competition with himself: âHow do I make the next scene more violent/comical than the last?' And it just keeps escalating to the point where it stops being shocking and starts being hilarious. You chop off both legs, soak a torso in kerosene, and the guy is still delivering dialogues like he's mid-TED Talk. Medical science, Zindabad. Forget Oscar, Nobel Prize incoming."
"Dhurandhar 2 is a HUGE disappointment. Snoozefest/comedy at best. If Part 1 made you cheer, this one will make you question why Dhurandhar 2 why? Ranveer, you're better than this. Aditya Dhar- jingoism and propaganda is so passe. Get over it," the actress concluded.
