With Dhurandhar: The Revenge (colloquially called Dhurandhar 2) winning at the box office, several film industry bigwigs have shared their reviews of the film. From Vijay Deverakonda to Ram Gopal Verma, Preity Zinta to Ananya Pandey, big celebrities showered the film with praise, aimed especially at Ranveer Singh. Singer and music director Vishal Dadlani also mentioned the film on social media recently. Read on to find out what he had to say!

Vishal Dadlani Seemingly Knocks On Dhurandhar 2 Over Demonetisation Angle

The Bollywood singer is known to be a straight shooter when it comes to speaking his mind. While the whole country seemed to be lauding the film, Vishal Dadlani had a slightly different take. He posted two stories on his Instagram supposedly asking people to differentiate films from facts.

On Saturday, March 21, 2026, Dadlani shared a screenshot of a statement that seemed to be taken from Google’s AI summary of news. It basically said that “the move”, referring to demonetisation, did not hit upon the “black money from the economy” despite that being the reasoning for the same. According to the statement, this was “widespread analysis” based on the “high percentage of cash return.”

Along with this, Vishal Dadlani wrote that considering “new BS” prevailing, movies are “just entertainment” and nonetheless, “facts are facts.”

Later, the music director posted a second story with another summarized statement. Here, it said that terror attacks had not reduced after “the 2016 demonetisation,” mentioning a few examples alongside. When analysed, it added, “aggregate terror incidents remained unchanged.” Vishal accompanied this screenshot with a line of his own. He retorted that watching films should be for fun. Information, however, must be gotten from “better sources.”

Although Dhurandhar 2 wasn’t called out directly, Vishal Dadlani used ‘Jaiye Sajana’ from the first film as the background track. This made it clear what he was referring to.

The 2016 demonetisation was included as a major plot point in the sequel of Aditya Dhar’s magnum opus, supposedly a means to hit back at money being diverted to terror.
