Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has shared his perspective on the highly anticipated box office confrontation between Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic, slated for March 19. Varma articulated that this release transcends a mere film competition, representing a fundamental divergence in cinematic approaches.
He characterized Dhurandhar 2 as a film grounded in realism, where actions have moral, psychological, and political implications. Varma emphasized that characters in such cinema act out of necessity, with storytelling that respects an intelligent audience capable of appreciating subtlety.
