The cinematic sensation 'Dhurandhar 2' continues to dominate both the box office and conversations across the entertainment industry, having recently surpassed the remarkable milestone of Rs 1000 crore net in India. While global audiences and numerous celebrities have been showering the film with accolades, veteran actor Paresh Rawal has now added his voice to the chorus of praise, offering detailed insights into what makes this Aditya Dhar directorial so compelling.
Rawal's Enthusiastic Reaction and Multiple Viewings
In a recent interview with Jagran, Paresh Rawal shared his profound admiration for the film, stating, "I am extremely impressed with 'Dhurandhar'. I absolutely loved the film. I still haven't gotten over it." He revealed his dedication to the franchise by noting, "I have already watched the first 'Dhurandhar' twice and have seen 'Dhurandhar 2' twice as well. I feel like going and watching it once more." This repeated viewing underscores the film's engaging narrative and technical excellence.
Comparing the Two Installments and Appreciating the Depth
Rawal drew comparisons between the two parts, highlighting the evolution in storytelling. He explained, "The first part was entertaining, but the second 'Dhurandhar' is packed with so much detail that viewers will thoroughly enjoy it." He emphasized the layered nature of the sequel, adding, "After watching, you realise there are multiple layers to it. Only when you see the film do you understand what each reference it is pointing towards." This complexity has contributed to its widespread appeal and critical acclaim.
Praise for R. Madhavan's Character and Its Real-Life Inspiration
A significant point of discussion was R. Madhavan's portrayal of Ajay Sanyal, a character inspired by India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. Rawal expressed his delight, saying, "When I saw that Madhavan's character is inspired by Ajit Doval ji, I felt very happy. He is a fine actor, and Ajit Doval ji is a true hero of our country." He commended the film's focus on such personalities, noting, "The work he has done is remarkable, and when films are made keeping such personalities at the centre, it feels good."
