Noted film director Ram Gopal Varma is puzzled by the silence from Bollywood bigwigs on the massive success of Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar. The blockbuster, which has already crossed ₹500 crore at the Indian box office and over ₹700 crore worldwide, has left the industry reeling. According to Varma, the film's unconventional approach and refusal to conform to traditional Bollywood templates have left major names feeling threatened. In a series of tweets, Varma likened Dhurandhar to a 'monstrous dog' that haunts industry professionals, forcing them to confront their own shortcomings. He predicts a bleak future for pan-India movies currently in production, which were modeled on outdated formulas. Varma's comments come as Dhurandhar continues to break box office records, with many hailing it as a game-changer in Indian cinema. The film's director, Aditya Dhar, has responded to Varma's praise, crediting his own films with teaching him to think creatively. Dhurandhar tells the story of covert intelligence operations set against a backdrop of significant geopolitical events, featuring a star-studded cast including Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Dutt.
