The success of Dhurandhar 2 has not only sparked conversations in India but also drawn sharp reactions across the border. Pakistani politician Nabil Gabol has openly criticised the film, particularly taking issue with Rakesh Bedi’s portrayal of Jameel Jamali, a character believed to be inspired by him. Nabil Gabol reacts to Rakesh Bedi's role in Dhurandhar 2 A video of Gabol reacting to the film has gone viral, where he did not hold back his disappointment. Expressing his displeasure, he said he was “not happy” with how he was shown on screen, questioning the authenticity of the character. His reaction has added a fresh layer of controversy to the already widely discussed film. One of Gabol’s biggest concerns is the way his personality has been depicted. Known for his strongman image in Karachi’s political landscape, he felt that the film failed to capture his “dabangg” persona. Instead, he claimed the character appeared diluted and, at times, even comical something he believes undermines his real-life stature. He also raised objections to how Lyari, a locality closely associated with his political career, has been portrayed in the film. According to him, the narrative presents the area in a negative light, unfairly linking it with violence and crime. The controversy stems from the fact that Dhurandhar 2, directed by Aditya Dhar, blends fiction with real-world inspirations, with several characters loosely based on actual figures. While this creative approach has contributed to the film’s gripping narrative, it has also led to backlash from individuals who feel misrepresented. Interestingly, Rakesh Bedi had earlier addressed similar claims, stating that he did not base his character on any specific individual. He clarified that Jameel Jamali is a fictional creation and not a direct portrayal of Gabol or any other real-life personality. All about the role Despite the criticism, the film continues to perform strongly at the box office and generate buzz online. However, Gabol’s reaction highlights the challenges filmmakers face when drawing inspiration from real-life figures, especially when audiences and public personalities interpret those portrayals differently. As the debate continues, the controversy around Dhurandhar 2 once again underscores how cinema can blur the lines between fiction and reality sometimes sparking conversations far beyond the screen.

If films don’t perform, there would be no platform for such interactions". While highlighting the differences between the two films, he said that Dhurandhar leans heavily into action and realism for a more mature audience; meanwhile, his film is developed as a family entertainer. He described, "Woh film realism par hai, woh action hai aur woh adult film hai ye family film hai. Hamare liye toh bohot acchi baat hai ki saari filmein chale, industry ke liye achi baat hai."

24 March,2026 11:24 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentFilmmaker Aditya Dhar, whose directorial Dhurandhar: The Revenge has emerged as a box-office phenomenon, has called Tamil superstar Rajinikanth the “benchmark” of entertainment, as he got overwhelmed with the appreciation from the legend of Tamil cinema. On Monday, Rajinikanth took to his X, formerly Twitter, and lauded Dhurandhar: The Revenge, as he called Aditya Dhar, “box-office ka baap.” What a film … #Dhurandhar2 !!! Aditya Dhar 🫡 box office -ka baap !!! Many congratulations to Ranveer and the entire cast and crew. A must watch film for every indian. Jai hind 🇮🇳 @AdityaDharFilms @RanveerOfficial — Rajinikanth (@rajinikanth) March 23, 2026 He wrote, “What a film Dhurandhar2. Aditya Dhar, box office, ka baap. Many congratulations to Ranveer and the entire cast and crew. A must watch film for every Indian. Jai hind”. Responding to the same, Aditya called it a superstar moment. He wrote, “Sir, we’ve all grown up measuring 'entertainment' with just one benchmark, YOU.
Making us whistle, laugh, cry and feel larger than life for decades and still doing it with the same swag and grace, that’s pure magic. So for you to call Dhurandhar 2, a “must watch” feels like the biggest ‘superstar’ moment of my life”. “It feels like a blessing from the very person who taught us all to dream bigger. Grateful beyond words, Sir. This one is going straight to the heart. Jai Hind”, he added. Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar and headlined by Ranveer Singh, has emerged as one of the biggest box-office juggernauts in recent Indian cinema. The response has been overwhelmingly strong across markets. The film registered high occupancy rates, multiple sold-out shows, and strong traction in dubbed versions, indicating pan-India appeal. Industry figures like Ayushmann Khurrana and Anupam Kher praised its scale and performances, while critics highlighted its spectacle-driven storytelling. Ram Gopal Varma called its success a disruption to traditional filmmaking norms. Culturally, the Dhurandhar franchise has evolved into a mass phenomenon. Its blend of hyper-stylized action, nationalism, and star power has resonated strongly with audiences, reflecting current cinematic trends. Viral moments, music, and even off-screen incidents have amplified its reach, turning it into more than just a film, a conversation driver. The sequel solidifies the franchise as a defining force in modern Bollywood spectacle cinema. However, the film has also riled up a section of the audience, with many claiming it is pro-establishment and pro-government propaganda.

24 March,2026 10:47 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSBollywood actor Akshay Kumar has opened up about his upcoming film Bhooth Bangla, calling it a "real horror comedy" and clarifying that it is completely different from his earlier hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Speaking about the film, Akshay said that while many are comparing the two, Bhooth Bangla belongs to a different space altogether. "Nahi ye bilkul alag hai (No, this is completely different). Bhool Bhulaiyaa..usme psychological thriller, horror..horror bhi nahi tha psychological comedy thi ( That was more of a psychological comedy). This is a fantasy. Iske andar vakai mein koi bhoot hai ya nahi dekhna hai ( In this, whether there is a ghost or not, you have to see.) Yeh actually kahunga to asli mein horror comedy hai (So if I say, this is a real horror comedy)," he shared.' Bhool Bhulaiyaa is a psychological horror comedy film directed by Priyadarshan starring Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Shiney Ahuja, and Ameesha Patel, alongside Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Manoj Joshi, Asrani, and Vikram Gokhale. Akshay is gearing up for the release of Bhooth Bangla, which is also directed by Priyadarshan. Filmmaker Priyadarshan has shared insights into his approach to the horror-comedy genre, saying that the blend of fear and humour works because it caters to the audience's natural need for relief during tense moments. Speaking about his filmmaking process, Priyadarshan revealed that he did not initially set out to create a horror-comedy with Bhool Bhulaiyaa. "We didn't think about horror comedy when we made Bhool Bhulaiyaa. We just thought of a psychological thriller," he said. However, he noted that humour has always been an integral part of his storytelling style. "If you watch any film of mine, there will be a lot of humour because I like situational humour," he added. The director explained that incorporating humour into horror enhances the viewing experience. "When you go to watch a horror film, people are a little tense. So they look for a chance to laugh a little. That is something we try to use," he said, describing it as a way to engage audiences more effectively. Priyadarshan believes the combination of horror and comedy creates a strong cinematic formula if executed well. "There are sequences which are very tense, but at the same time there is a lot of humour. It's a nice combination. People like both. If you can pull it off successfully, it will always work," he said. Talking about casting, the filmmaker emphasised that he prioritises the script before choosing actors. "I think about my script first. Then I decide who is right for it," he shared. He also acknowledged his long-standing collaboration with actor Akshay Kumar, particularly in comedy. "Whenever I think of humour, my first preference is Akshay. More than anything, it's my comfort level of working with him," he said. Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar collaborated on films like Hera Pheri, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Bhooth Bangla, De Dana Dan, Bhagam Bhag, among others. Bhooth Bangla features Akshay Kumar alongside Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Jisshu Sengupta, Asrani and Wamiqa Gabbi. The film is presented by Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, in association with Cape of Good Films. It is produced by Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor and Ektaa R Kapoor. The film completed its shooting schedule in May last year and is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 10, 2026. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

24 March,2026 09:46 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSWhile Mondays are often dull days for films and their box office collections, as the numbers drop drastically, it wasn't the case for Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The first working day of the week had no impact on the film's collections, which have now crossed the Rs 850 crore mark worldwide. Leave alone slowing down, the Aditya Dhar-directorial went on to register the biggest Monday in Indian cinema history. Dhurandhar 2 Day 5 collection Dhurandhar 2 released on Thursday, March 19, in theatres, after a record-breaking paid previews on Wednesday. Thanks to the paid previews, the film took off with a record Rs 145 crore start domestically and Rs 240 crore gross worldwide. Over the weekend, which also included the festival of Eid, the Ranveer Singh-starrer only spiked up in numbers and buzz. After Sunday, Dhurandhar 2 had grossed Rs 454 crore net in India alone in just four days. On Monday, the spy thriller was expected to see a drop, as films normally do. However, Dhurandhar 2 managed to limit that dip to just 43%. On Monday, the film collected another Rs 65 crore net in India. Overseas, the film has been an equally big phenomenon. After a record USD 7-million start, the film has steadily gone up the charts. On Monday, it added USD 2.5 million to its kitty internationally. It earned Rs 100 crore worldwide on Monday. Dhurandhar 2 total collection Considering its domestic haul, the film has earned Rs 519 crore net in five days. This is the highest five-day collection for an Indian film, beating the likes of Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2, and leaving the Bollywood record of Pathaan (Rs 268 crore) behind. Talking of its overseas earnings, it collected USD 25 million in the opening weekend. In North America, the film became the third-biggest earner over the weekend. With that, Dhurandhar 2’s global total now stands at a jaw-dropping Rs 850 crore as it gallops towards the Rs 1000 crore mark at the box office. By crossing the Rs 800-crore mark, the Ranveer Singh film has crossed the haul of Aamir Khan’s PK, which was the highest-grossing Indian film of its time with Rs 769 crore. Within a matter of hours, the film also surpassed the lifetime collection of Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava (Rs 807 crore). It now eyes Stree 2 and Kantara Chapter One. It should easily cross both films’ worldwide collections on Tuesday if it crosses Rs 900 crore.
24 March,2026 09:45 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentVeteran actress Zeenat Aman has made a heartfelt appeal to the Chief Minister of Goa, Pramod Sawant, to address the ongoing ecological destruction of the place on a priority basis. What prompted this appeal was witnessing the birth of some Olive Ridley turtles on one of the beaches of Goa. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zeenat Aman (@thezeenataman) Sharing the once-in-a-lifetime experiences on social media, Zeenat Aman wrote, "The sand was cooling underfoot, and a little huddle of people had gathered to observe one of Nature’s quiet miracles - the mass hatching of olive Ridley turtles. Some weeks ago, hundreds of female turtles had hauled themselves out of the sea to dig their nests and lay their clutches. Now, with the moon rising above the water, those eggs were hatching.(sic)" The members of the Goa forest department assisted in the birth of the newborns. "Driven by primordial instinct the babies are wired to walk into the sea, and with a little help from their doulas they began their journey. I’m told no more than 1 in 1000 of these littles ones will survive to adulthood. And then the adult that survives will have to navigate trawlers, pollution, beach erosion and collapsing ecosystems…Little babies. Not yet minutes old, and in a race for their lives," the veteran actress added. Zeenat Aman admitted that she feels almost silly to be so deeply moved by the birth of some turtles when humans continue to suffer. "Is it frivolous to lament the challenges faced by baby turtles, when bombs are daily exploded in the faces of children on the instructions of power-crazed men? I think not. By feeling our intrinsic connection to the natural world, the compassion and wonder it evokes, maybe we can hold on to the ‘humanity’ that seems to be slipping away from our societies. " She further urged the Goa CM to take note of the ongoing ecological destruction in the place, saying, "How tragic then it is to learn that today Goa’s waters - rivers and seas- are so contaminated with faecal content that they are unfit for swimming and fishing." "An appeal to CM drpramodpsawant to address the ecological destruction of Goa on priority. Else it will be paradise lost", the post concluded.
