Ramya slams Dhurandhar 2 as she calls it a ‘huge disappointment’; questions Ranveer Singh’s role

South actress Ramya, also known as Divya Spandana, has sparked online discussions after posting a strongly worded critique of *Dhurandhar 2*, the sequel to the 2025 action film. The movie, which premiered on March 19, has drawn considerable attention at the box office, yet Ramya's comments offer a contrasting perspective.

In a detailed social media post, Ramya took issue with the film's direction, performances, editing, and background score, describing it as exhausting to watch.

 She likened the experience to reading a textbook on the most boring subject with endless chapters, eventually prompting viewers' brains to give up and laugh at the sheer absurdity unfolding on screen.

She advised those interested in watching to avoid wasting time or money in theaters, suggesting it’s best suited for streaming, where escape is just a click away.

Comparing *Dhurandhar 2* to its predecessor, Ramya noted that the original had a strong energy and appeal, while the sequel failed to match its impact.

 She pointed out that the theater response reflected disappointment rather than excitement.

Ramya also questioned Ranveer Singh's role, stating, "What exactly is he carrying?

 Because all I could see was his hair. In the first part, his hair had personality, presence, character. In this one, it's just there. In the way. Of everything." She further criticized the film's excessive violence, claiming it felt like a visual handbook on creative brutality, with every object weaponized. She joked that the director seemed to be in a competition to make each scene more violent or comical than the last, with the violence escalating to a point where it stops being shocking and becomes amusing.

She concluded her critique by calling *Dhurandhar 2* a "huge disappointment," noting that while the first part had audiences cheering, the sequel might cause them to question its necessity.

 She also remarked that some thematic elements felt outdated, suggesting a hint of jingoism.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, *Dhurandhar: The Revenge* is a follow-up to the 2025 film and stars Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun.

 The action thriller follows Jaskirat Singh Rangi as he infiltrates Karachi's underworld to dismantle a terror network, leading to a high-stakes confrontation with a powerful adversary. The film, released in multiple languages, continues its theatrical run amid mixed reviews.

Jio Studios’ Dhurandhar headed to hit Rs. 100 crore on Eid Day in Hindi – All Records Decimated

 The Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar film, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, is changing the way movies do business at the box office, as it continues to break records every day.

 After opening with Rs. 125 crore on Thursday (including paid previews), the action-packed film reached Rs. 75 crore on Friday, making the total for two days Rs. 200 crore. This success came before Eid, and the real boost came on Eid day itself.

According to early estimates, Dhurandhar is expected to collect around Rs. 100 crore on Saturday, making the total for three days reach Rs. 300 crore.

 This is a record-breaking amount and the largest three-day total in Hindi history. Dhurandhar 2 has also become the first movie to reach Rs. 80 crore, Rs. 90 crore, and Rs. 100 crore on separate days.

The film is aiming for another Rs. 100 crore on Sunday and is targeting an opening weekend that could hit around Rs. 400 crore, which would be historic as these numbers could remain unbeaten for a long time.

 Bookings for Sunday are also setting new records, and the film is showing huge momentum that will likely continue for weeks to come.

The film is on track to become the second highest-grossing Hindi film of all time in just one week and could then rise to the top spot by the second week.

 The numbers are so massive that it's hard to put them into words, and keep in mind, this is just the start of a new era in movie business, with a single-day Rs. 100 crore mark coming much earlier than anyone anticipated.

Ranveer Singh dethrones Shah Rukh Khan & Ranbir Kapoor as box office king; Jio Studios’ Dhurandhar opens at Rs. 125 crores in India (including previews) on Day 1

Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar's film, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, has begun its journey at the box office with remarkable success in India. Following a record-breaking Rs. 43 crores from paid previews, the action-packed entertainer has exceeded all expectations on its first day. Based on early trends, Dhurandhar 2 is projected to earn between Rs. 80 crore and Rs. 82 crore, leading to a total opening day collection of Rs. 125 crore.

The film is drawing record crowds across all regions, with footfalls at an all-time high despite unconventional show timings.

 The makers have opted for round-the-clock screenings, resulting in an unprecedented turnout. This marks the biggest opening day for a Hindi film, surpassing the previous records of Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Jawan by a significant margin. Ranbir Kapoor's Animal is not in the running, as Dhurandhar 2 has outperformed it by a 2.5x margin.

Ranveer Singh now holds the record for the highest opening day in Hindi cinema and can be considered the box office king as more records are expected in the coming days.

 The film is targeting the biggest opening weekend and the highest lifetime gross in the industry. This achievement is historic as it's the first time an actor will have the top two films of all time under his name within three months.

Even Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Salman Khan have not achieved such a feat.

 It's important to note that the industry typically includes day one figures with paid previews. Even excluding these, the film has earned over Rs. 75 crores, setting another all-time record.

 The fantasy comedy features Kartik as a shape-shifting naag and, reportedly, Ravi Kishan essays the role of the antagonist. Earlier this month, source reported that the talented actress Preity Mukhundhan, who has made a mark down South, will be launched in Bollywood with this film.

Naagzilla is scheduled to be released in cinemas on Independence Day 2026.

 It marks the first association of Kartik Aaryan and Mahaveer Jain, Mahaveer Jain and Karan Johar and the second film for Kartik and KJo after Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (2025).

On February 1, source had carried a quote of a source who told us, "Mrighdeep Singh Lamba shot a month-long schedule in Mumbai with Kartik Aaryan in January 2026.

 On January 31, the Mumbai schedule was wrapped up. 70% of the shoot is now complete. The team of Naagzilla will head to Delhi in February 2026, where a three-week-long schedule will take place."
