Despite the overwhelming success of 'Dhurandhar 2', filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has voiced his disagreement with the film's portrayal of Dawood Ibrahim, a central character depicted as a mastermind behind terror networks. Varma, who previously lauded the film as a monumental achievement in Indian cinema, stated that he feels the representation of Ibrahim is inaccurate, expressing that it does not align with his knowledge of the figure. He emphasized that Dawood has been inactive in criminal activities for the past 20 years, suggesting that he has effectively retired from such operations. Varma acknowledged the challenges in accurately depicting such controversial figures, noting the ambiguity surrounding their narratives. Despite this critique, 'Dhurandhar 2' continues to dominate the box office, having amassed an impressive ₹1733.2 crore globally. The film, led by Ranveer Singh and featuring a star-studded cast, has collectively grossed over ₹3,000 crore when combined with its predecessor, showcasing its significant impact on the Indian film industry.
