'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, a young man who transforms into a covert operative, Hamza Ali Mazari, operating deep inside Pakistan, appears to be receiving rave reviews, with some hailing it as a "masterpiece".
In an early review, industry tracker Taran Adarsh stated that the movie, the second part of the Ranveer Singh-led spy saga, delivers on every front—"scale, drama, emotions, action, performances and impact."
He said the movie lives up to expectations, as the director has returned with a "vision that is bigger, sharper and far more ambitious."
According to the reviewer, the movie is "tightly written, fast-paced and loaded with goosebumps-inducing moments", and the climax is "explosive, emotional and immensely satisfying."
"Beneath the spectacle lies a powerful story of courage, resilience, revenge and justice – elements that linger long after the screening ends," he wrote in a social media review.
"In short, if you loved the first part, you are going to adore the second installment," he added.
R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi return alongside Singh for the sequel, which releases in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.
Earlier in the day, Dhar, who has written, directed and co-produced the movie, shared a statement on X and said the film is meant to be experienced on the big screen.
"Here is my one, heartfelt, earnest request... PLEASE DON'T SHARE SPOILERS! Let every single fan walk in clueless but curious and walk out with their own deeply personal version of what they felt. You made 'Dhurandhar' what it is. Now I'm trusting you to protect what this becomes," he said.
In another post, he wrote, "Oh, and one more thing. Don't leave your seats until the credits have stopped rolling."
