Dhruv Rathee Slams Aditya Dhar’s ‘Dhurandhar 2’: "BJP’s Most Expensive Election Advertisement"

Director Aditya Dhar’s highly anticipated sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, has hit a familiar double stride. Even as the high-octane action film continues to destroy existing box office records and earns loud applause from within the film industry, it has simultaneously reignited a fierce national debate regarding its heavy political messaging.

Amidst the celebratory news of the film’s massive commercial success, YouTuber and prominent political commentator Dhruv Rathee has shared an exhaustive video analysis of the sequel. Rathee, a noted critic of the original 2025 film, made it clear that his previous concerns have only intensified after watching the second installment.

Known for his in-depth teardowns, Rathee’s latest video pulls no punches in assessing Dhurandhar 2’s objectives. He argues that the film is not designed to be entertainment, but rather a direct political tool.

In a quote that has since gone viral, Rathee remarks, “Dhurandhar 2 is not a film made for entertainment, it is the BJP’s most expensive election advertisement, for which you pay Rs 500 to watch.”
