Dhurandar Became That 'Scary Dog' In Every Movie Office

Director Ram Gopal Varma is not done talking about Dhurandhar, and in a fresh round of applause, he’s hailing the film as the greatest of all. Guess what, he’s just getting started, as he calls the film a ‘scary dog,’ and that analogy is now breaking heads everywhere. Here’s what he said.

Apparently, Ram Gopal Varma compared the Aditya Dhar–directed blockbuster to a “scary dog” that silently stalks every film production office, giving scary nights to makers of some upcoming big-budget films. He stated that Dhurandhar’s success has become not only path-breaking, but also monstrous that the film industry’s first instinct is not to celebrate it, but deny it.

According to him, filmmakers feel threatened by a film they cannot match, especially when it shatters their long-held belief about what works at the box office. He says that they ignore it as if it disappears like a bad dream. RGV compared Dhurandhar to that intimidating dog one encounters at someone else’s house. They act like they ignore it, but actually they are scared of it a lot, and keep one eye on it, he said.

In Varma’s view, Aditya Dhar not only delivered a blockbuster but forced the industry to look at the mirror and measure their work against this stupendous blockbuster. Saying that Dhurandhar is a benchmark that made the industry uncomfortable, RGV has taken potshots at many celebs who chose to stay silent on the movie.
