Dhruv Rathee slams Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2, calls it a brain rot: ‘Not even well-made propaganda’

Director Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2, led by Ranveer Singh, has finally arrived in cinemas, opening to a solid box office response and largely positive reviews from audiences. However, the film has also sparked a fresh row, with political commentator and YouTuber Dhruv Rathee once again taking aim at the spy thriller, dismissing it as “brain rot”. This isn’t the first time Dhruv Rathee has taken sharp digs at Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar franchise. Dhruv Rathee slams Dhurandhar 2 A few days ago, Dhruv took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticise Aditya’s spy thriller, calling it a propaganda film that, in his view, is no longer even well-made. Dhruv tweeted, “I called Aditya Dhar a BJP propagandist 3 months ago. Now everyone will see it. It was subtle in the previous film, but he went so blatant this time in overconfidence. Remember how I said, well-made propaganda is more dangerous? Ab toh well-made bhi nahi raha (It’s not even well-made anymore.). Lol”. On Saturday, Dhruv once again took a swipe at Aditya’s Ranveer Singh-led film while sharing …

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has finally hit theatres and, as expected, is drawing packed audiences and is on its way to shatter box office records. However, the response has been mixed, with some viewers praising it and others feeling it doesn’t match up to Dhurandhar. Amid the buzz, YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, who had earlier criticised Aditya Dhar’s directorial Dhurandhar when it was released in December, has now taken aim at the sequel as well, claiming that audiences will now see the filmmaker as a “BJP propagandist.” Dhruv took to X and wrote, “I called Aditya Dhar a BJP propagandist 3 months ago. Now everyone will see it. It was subtle in the previous film, but he went so blatant this time in overconfidence. Remember how I said, well-made propaganda is more dangerous?

Dhurandhar has been on an unprecedented box office rampage, amassing a staggering Rs 1,117.90 crore worldwide so far. On its fourth Thursday, the film crossed the Rs 15 crore mark, putting it firmly on track to surpass the lifetime collection of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, which stood at approximately Rs 1,160 crore. While the film’s commercial success is undeniable, it has sharply divided public opinion. A section of audiences has embraced the film wholeheartedly and is eagerly awaiting its second instalment, slated for release in March. On the other hand, critics and viewers have labelled it a technically polished yet politically loaded movie. Then there are voices from within the industry—like Hrithik Roshan—who may disagree with the film’s ideological stance but have openly acknowledged its cinematic excellence. Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra recently echoed a similar sentiment. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Mishra wrote: “We belong to the Indian film industry and we are all different. By the way, Dhurandhar is a well-made film. Aditya Dhar is extremely skilled. The acting is terrific. The most …
