Once audiences taste this new standard , every film currently under production in the previous masala style can become instantly endangered.”He went on to add, “Those ultra big budgeted masala projects that are already deep into shooting or post production will have an uphill task in competing with the new standards set. Producers who bet entire empires on the same previous formulaic making might face empty theatres and career ending losses because of the high costs involved and the audience taste converting to the international standards Directors married to the belief of “mass + vfx + scale + gravity defying stunts = guaranteed hit will have no choice but to reinvent themselves by studying the Dhurandhar audiences.” ‘Superstars who were depending upon their god like statuses…’ The note also read, “Superstars who were depending upon their god like statuses resting solely on mindless hero worship will stand exposed in front of highly effective characters who grow to be heroes in the context of the story rather than already being hailed as heroes from frame one. DHURANDHAR 2 is not just another film coming on March 19 th. It can be an ASTEROID STRIKE that might end the DINOSAUR ERA of film making which is full of sheer volume, fake heroism and the so called masala treatment. The goal post has been changed and so if the direction of the kick does not change, it might not only break the leg , but it might lose the limb.”Dhurandhar: The Revenge is sequel to 2025 blockbuster Dhurandhar.
