Why Bollywood’s Quiet on Dhurandhar 2 Has Fans Talking — While Telugu Stars Can’t Stop Praising It

Dhurandhar 2 celebrity reactions

The buzz around Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge hasn’t just been about its box office storm — it’s the celebrity reactions that are fueling just as much chatter. While the film is raking in huge numbers and getting talked about everywhere, there’s one thing that’s got fans raising eyebrows: a notable silence from many of Bollywood’s own stars.

On social media, several big names from Telugu cinema — including Allu Arjun, Jr. NTR, Vijay Deverakonda, Mahesh Babu and Ram Charan — have openly praised the film, applauding its scale, Ranveer Singh’s performance and the intense storytelling. Their shout-outs and posts have been shared widely by fans, especially in South Indian film circles.

In stark contrast, a chunk of Bollywood’s mainstream elite has been relatively quiet publicly. This hasn’t gone unnoticed online, with many viewers pointing out how the same industry that usually rallies around its blockbusters seems unusually muted this time around — leading some to wonder if political sensitivities or fear of backlash are keeping tweets and posts at bay. Rumours and fan comments on social platforms suggest that some stars may be hesitant to voice support for a movie with strong nationalistic themes, though nothing official has been said.

Meanwhile, the southern support has been heartening — and sometimes even cheekily vocal — for many viewers. More than a few social media users have joked that Telugu stars are out there celebrating the success that Bollywood isn’t, even making memes about Ranveer Singh being more appreciated by his “South Indian family” than his own industry friends.

It’s worth remembering that industry praise can be personal and complicated — stars have their own PR strategies, relationships, and brand calculations before they publicly endorse fellow projects. But for now, the contrast is real, noticeable and a hot topic on social media. As Dhurandhar 2 continues its theatrical run and possibly brews up awards season chatter later this year, maybe we’ll see more voices chime in — Bollywood or otherwise.
