Sandeep Reddy Vanga is making headlines for his powerful and controversial review of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. The filmmaker, who recently watched the film at Allu Cinemas in Kokapet, Hyderabad alongside Prabhas, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his thoughts—and they’ve since taken social media by storm.
In his post, Vanga didn’t hold back. He criticised a section of the film industry, claiming that several writers and actors have built careers around “propaganda” while others remained silent. According to him, the same voices are now mocking Dhurandhar 2, raising questions about selective criticism and double standards. He also challenged the modern use of the term “liberal,” suggesting that mocking a film contradicts the openness the label claims to represent. His remark about “truth” being increasingly labelled as propaganda has especially struck a chord online, sparking intense debate.
Amid the strong opinions, Vanga made his stance on the film very clear—he loved it. Calling Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge an “outstanding” film, he praised director Aditya Dhar and actor Ranveer Singh for delivering a powerful cinematic experience. Staying true to his signature style, he added a dramatic Hindi line about warding off the “evil eye,” implying that the film’s impact is too big for minor measures to handle.
The review has gained even more traction because of its timing. Vanga is currently collaborating with Prabhas on Spirit, and their recent appearance together at the theatre has already created a buzz among fans. Their outing, combined with this strong endorsement, has further amplified the film’s visibility.
More than just a review, Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s statement has reignited conversations around cinema, criticism, and narrative control in the industry. Whether seen as bold honesty or polarising commentary, his words have ensured that Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge remains at the center of attention.
