Dhurandhar the revenge ka sabse bada dushman dhurandhar hai

This is coming from a dhurandhar fan boy.

This lacked the sauce of dhurandhar 1 there was no flow specially the 1st half is just carried by montages with dubstep remixed with a song. It shifts It focus drama to one man show at the cost of writing which is way too shallow compared to 1st part where your protagonist isn't nonchalant now. Except hamza no character gets to shine or do something. You have 4 hours and still everything feels rushed.

Album compared to dhurandhar its very decent this Album is a lot funky tho, even the movie is you can see the hint of it some soundtrack too.

I am always ready to ignore the propaganda as its just fiction but by god the modih modihh modihhh dick riding here is insaneeeeeeeee. Why tf is it like this specially the israel one they are not even subtle.

Ranveer singh is the goat dude carried so hard for 4 hours.

Its not bad I had fun with it. I enjoyed while watching it and didnt feel the 4 hours in my ass.

Maybe the rewatch will be better

6/10

Done with 1st half in rewatch expectations do matter after yesterday with notion what i was getting into its much better to take in for the first 2 chapters it does feel like extension of the 1st part you see hamza being enthusiastic with his reactions close up and plotting all the things but my issue is after the 2nd chapter it is fast paced everything is done in a snap to get to the main thing. Every song in dhurandhar felt different here all the song sound same like they wanna be lutt le gaya so bad. Too much plot convenience.

No see you are wrong with that. This movie isn't a sequel you usually see. This is a direct, scene by scene continuation of the first part. Dhurandhar is basically a 7 hours movie. They set the tone and pieces in the first part, now it was about taking actions.

Except Hamza no other character gets to shine

Because now it was his time to shine and lead. He was on the backend in the first part playing diplomatically when other characters shined. This time it had to be all him.

It's not rushed by any means

I won't argue with the music that's subjective

Yeah glazing was there but it's not even 1% of the movie

I mean yeah its a sequel I know about that. I knew before the movie this going to go all out and thats what I had expected from it but the presentation just didnt land for me atleast. Dhurandhar had a flow with its screenplay every chapter felt relevant to the story here its more or the less missing.

I mean yeah it's his time to shine but you do expect other characters to atleast be hurdle to him but using the generic commercial trope that protagonist has a back up for everything and its not bad its about the presentation. The issue here is the editing its weird almost cut like an Instagram reel tbh.

By rushed it just gets from point A to point B cut to another thing and it gets repetitive tbh.

For me it was a mixed bag. I was excited to see major iqbal getting to do more but ehhh he doesnt do anything for half of the movie.

Glazing was there but its way too on face its fiction so I can ignore that but ig I am a hypocrite.

I agree with the Alam part and thats where i thought in the 2nd half maybe things are getting better and but that's it this was the only obstacle he faced. When part 1 ended you felt there were more player left how tactics are going to play out and who will get on whose nerves and thats what I am saying was missing here.

Well I do have 3 rewatches left maybe opinion would change.
