Dhurandhar The Revenge

Dhurandhar The Revenge

2026

"Buffing the shiny teeth with crimson blood, the sequel of Dhurandhar forgets to sharpen them for the same biting grab for which its predecessor got famous in the first place. Continuing the power grab through the savagery, The Revenge displays opulence that comes part and parcel with exporting terror into India's heartland but it makes a case of placing the reigns in real-time in the hands of pawns and inconsequential patsies and overplays its hands by overestimating the real power Balochs hold in the political scales of Pakistan along with too much weightage on a absconding terrorist, all the while completely eclipsing the roles of the army, the religious figures and the US intelligence. I'm sorry to say this but with the ruggedness and grunge of Lyari gone, so were a whole lot of nuanced espionage strategy play once attached to the plot. This one was too far spread and not laser guided, hence got its hand caught inside the cookie jar. Began by taking a leaf off of Paan Singh Tomar and entered into Fanaa territory. Really unwieldy and all over the place. Rushed which is ironic since it was almost four hours long. Less weaving a tale and more checking off boxes all through a preplanned list. If it had a two and half an hour runtime with some essential cuts, it would have been a solid spy action thriller. Not this diet version of Telugu mass masala Punisher. P.S.- Arjun Rampal was outstanding."
