RGV Hails ‘Dhurandhar’ as a Cinematic Game-Changer
Syndicate: RGV’s Attempt to Match New Standards
He continued, “Here’s my take on why I want to wipe out my entire past and be a newborn or a reborn director post watching Dhurandhar 2… In effect, we all keep getting reshaped from time to time because of newer and newer experiences, which keep on elevating our benchmarks as they should. My benchmark films were The Sound of Music (Rangeela), The Exorcist (Raat, Bhoot), and The Godfather (Satya, Company, Sarkar). In my entire career, I was making films derived from those benchmarks and mainly from The Godfather.”
A Call to Filmmakers: Adapt or Face Irrelevance
“It will be a suicidal blunder on the part of any filmmaker/writer/star, not to shed their egos and do an intensive academic research study of #Dhurandhar2 and then take a deep relook and then rework on whatever they believed so far, and drastically adapt. By not doing so, and if you all will still stick to the same old cinematic beliefs, which were brutally killed on March 19 th 2026, you too will die,” he concluded.
Varma’s statements highlight a potential shift in his filmmaking approach. He calls for a reevaluation of cinematic norms in light of Aditya Dhar’s work, suggesting a significant change in the industry’s future.
