Dhurandhar 2: What makes Aditya Dhar's film extremely interesting and gripping is the fact that it doesn't focus on just one larger-than-life hero. Interestingly, the director makes sure that the story treats every character as important in their own way. While the focus remains on Ranveer Singh and the flawless manner in which he brings his energy to the screen, Sanjay Dutt too makes his presence look powerful presence, Sara Arjun brings the emotional side, and Rakesh Bedi adds heart to the story. So clearly, each character gets the moment it needs to shine and emerge as instrumental to the film's success. This makes Dhurandhar 2 both different and impactful.

Yaad rakhenge log inko," Gaurav had said in a recent chat with Faridoon Shahryar.
