Owaisi’s Criticism of ‘Dhurandhar 2’
‘Dhurandhar’ Films: Espionage and Geopolitics
When the host pointed out that the ‘world is watching’ Dhurandhar 2 and is ‘happy with it’, he replied, “Hum Hyderabad mai bolte hai ki, pyaare, in cheezon ko dil pe mat lo, murde pe lo. To hum murde pe leke chorr dete hai usko. (We have a saying in Hyderabad. Dear, do not take it to heart, take it to the grave. So, we take it to the grave and let it go).”
‘Dhurandhar 2’ Cast and Performance
The Dhurandhar films tell the story of an Indian spy, Jaskirat Singh Rangi, alias Hamza Ali Mazari (Ranveer Singh), who is sent to Lyari, Pakistan, by IB director Ajay Sanyal ( R Madhavan ) to infiltrate a Baloch gang and bring down a terror outfit. Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, Sanjay Dutt, Gaurav Gera, Danish Pandor, and others reprised their roles from the first film for the sequel. The films draw inspiration from multiple real-life geopolitical events and conflicts. Given that the sequel was also released in South Indian languages as well as Hindi, Dhurandhar 2 is on its way to outperforming the first film.
Despite criticism, ‘Dhurandhar 2’ is poised to potentially outperform its predecessor, boosted by its release in multiple languages. The film’s blend of espionage and geopolitical inspiration continues to spark debate.
