So I’m in for a second viewing of Dhurandhar 2. And it’s an even better watch this time with all the context of Jamali!👽

The view of Mount Diablo from Briones regional park



Alright fam, #DhurandharTheRevenge has been watched. The first half (AKA Montage-dhar) is overlong and doesn’t reach the highs of Dhurandhar 1 but the 2nd half (AKA WTF-dhar) is a fulfilling conclusion nonetheless.🔥 Btw they should’ve just called this sequel #Narendar.💀

Which is your favourite song from #Dhurandhar2TheRevenge?






The thing about Dhurandhar’s music is that everyone seems to have a different favourite song. The best compliment for any album.





Phir Se is easily one of my favorite songs of Dhurandhar 2, so here’s an amateur attempt at a cover.🎧






Waqt Nahin Lagta, Waqt Badalne Mein! Once in a generation comes a film that rewrites the rule of filmmaking. And the #Dhurandhar franchise has broken all myths, where the leading hero, #RanveerSingh stands for security - takes a backseat when story demanded, and comes to the forefront shouldering it when needed. #AdityaDhar makes a 8 hour plus film in a single go, following his gut, conviction and vision - steps back from all conventional norms of filmmaking, to tell a story he believes in. And the results? There for everyone to see. He brings in the swag in the characters based in Pakistan - from #AkshayeKhanna, #SanjayDutt to #ArjunRampal and of course, #RakeshBedi. And guess what? We Indians became a part of this world, in no time. Today, Lyari has become a part of global pop-culture. Rs 450 crore budget franchise, headed to score combined box office results close to Rs 3000 crore, that’s surreal right? And Profits? Well, in the north of Rs 1000 crore. Lord Lamxi was sitting on Dhar’s camera when he was filming Dhurandhar. And kudos to the #JioStudios to back #AdityaDhar’s path break approach. Back to Back all time blockbusters Back to Back all time grossers 1st to hit Rs 800 crore, Rs 900 crore and of course Rs 1000 crore in Hindi. This isn’t cinema, this is a cinema changer. The films in the to come by might look smaller than #Dhurandhar2, as the box office collections have now become a benchmark. Spy films will be compared to this, the hype around number game might subside. Ladies & Gentlemen, you are not ready for this. A new era of cinema begins! PS: Dhurandhar is a film that released as an underdog, not many gave it a chance, but the content changed it all. Power of content. Hindi cinema is rocking & roaring
