Ramya Spandana has sparked controversy by strongly criticizing Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, calling it a “huge disappointment” and accusing it of pushing “propaganda.”
Taking to social media, she described the film as an “endurance test” and advised audiences to skip watching it in theatres.
“Don’t Waste Your Time or Money”
In her detailed post, Ramya did not hold back:
“If you really want to watch it, do yourself a favour: don’t waste your time or money in a theatre… best consumed on a streaming platform where escape is just a click away.”
She also mocked claims that Ranveer Singh is carrying the film, humorously commenting on his on-screen appearance rather than performance.
Strong Criticism of Violence
One of her biggest concerns was the film’s excessive violence. She described it as:
“A visual handbook on how creatively violent you can get with literally any object.”
According to her, the film escalates violence to such an extent that it loses impact and becomes unintentionally comical.
Calls Out Director Aditya Dhar
Ramya also targeted director Aditya Dhar, criticizing what she described as jingoism and propaganda-driven storytelling.
“Jingoism and propaganda is so passé… get over it.”
Her remarks have triggered debate online, with fans divided over the film’s content and messaging.
