The phenomenal success of ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ has united India’s film fraternity in celebration. Directed by Aditya Dhar and led by Ranveer Singh’s powerhouse performance, the action thriller has crossed the 1,600 crore mark globally, holding strong three weeks post-release.
Stepping up as a vocal ally, Sandeep Reddy Vanga – the mastermind behind ‘Animal’ – unleashed a scathing takedown of the film’s detractors on X. He accused industry insiders of hypocrisy, pointing out how some built empires on publicity stunts yet now belittle genuine triumphs.
“Those who rode the wave of PR to stardom got a free pass from the industry. Today, they’re the ones laughing at Dhurandhar. Mocking success doesn’t make you progressive; it’s just bitterness. Truth is now labeled as hype in these weird times,” Vanga declared.
In a humorous yet pointed twist, Vanga shared his ‘anti-evil eye’ ritual for Dhar. Ditching traditional remedies, he quipped that only incinerating a full chili farm would suffice against the jealousy-fueled gaze targeting the film’s blockbuster status.
“Aditya Dhar, this black magic won’t lift with mere chilies – burn down the entire field,” Vanga advised.
Fans recall Vanga catching the film with superstar Prabhas in a multiplex, their excited selfies flooding timelines and amplifying the hype.
Dhar’s evolution from ‘Uri’ – a box-office smash that ignited national pride – to this revenge saga marks him as a director unafraid of big swings. This time, the praise isn’t just for the movie; it’s a full-throated roar for his craft.
With Vanga’s stamp of approval, ‘Dhurandhar’ isn’t just dominating charts – it’s sparking debates on authenticity in Bollywood, proving that real hits endure the noise.
