Ram Gopal Varma Says Industry Will Want To 'Ignore' Dhurandhar: 'Those Who Believed In VFX-Ridden, Item Song...'

Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar has firmly established itself as one of Bollywood’s biggest blockbusters, ensuring that Hindi cinema ends 2025 on an emphatic high. The Aditya Dhar-directed film has generated significant buzz, and many big names in Bollywood have appreciated the film. The latest to join this bandwagon is Ram Gopal Varma, who has also reflected on why many big names in Bollywood are silent on the film.

He wrote on X, “Whenever a path-breaking and monstrous hit like #dhurandhar comes, the industry people will wish to ignore it because they will feel threatened by it due to their inability to match its standards ..So they will think of it as a nightmare, which will vanish when they wake up in their own films.”

He added, “This is even more

true of all the so-called pan-India biggies which are right now under various stages of production.. They were all written and mounted, modelled on the films made before #dhurandhar, which is the exact opposite of what they all believed will work. What’s even more worrisome is that #dhurandhar, apart from being a omega hit, is also the most discussed film since the last 50 years.”

RGV wrote, “Everyone of us experienced an incident like we going to visit someone’s house and we see a large scary looking dog which keeps staring at us .. Inspite of the owner assuring it’s harmless and advises us to ignore it, the tension will remain and will keep growing and we can’t resist seeing it from the corner of our eyes .. #Durandhar will be like that monstrous dog which will be invisibly pacing around in every production office wherever the upcoming biggies are being made ..”

“They will try their level best to even avoid uttering the dog’s name, but it will keep loitering in all their minds ..To that extent #dhurandhar will actually be like a HORROR film for all those makers who believed in the earlier template of VFX ridden, expensive sets, item song ridden and the Hero worship template ..And now in #dhurandhar with the film being worshipped instead of the star, they would be getting crucified in their own self created dungeon of masala films .. But no matter how much they wish the dog won’t go away .. it will be here to bite whenever their next film releases,” he added.

He concluded, “More than anything else @AdityaDharFilms is forcing the industry people to look at their own films in the mirror, in comparison to the beautiful looking #dhurandhar.”
