Comparing Dhurandhar to his cult classic Satya, Ram Gopal Varma says he feels glad that the 1998 gangster drama served as the baseline for Aditya Dhar who, he believes, has changed the grammar of commercial filmmaking. Varma has been effusive in his praise for Dhar, who has written, directed and co-produced Dhurandhar and its follow-up Dhurandhar: The Revenge. "Dhurandar is not just a film, it changed the grammar, it changed people's mindset. R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, Danish Pandor, and Rakesh Bedi returned for the second part, which is produced by Aditya Dhar, Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar. The first part earned Rs 875 crore net in India and grossed Rs 1300 crore worldwide.
