As Toxic fails to cross Rs 300 cr, RGV says other films should take lessons from Dhurandhar

Ram Gopal Varma continues to publicly praise Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, even as the recent release Toxic struggles at the box office. Last Wednesday, Varma shared his love for Dhurandhar on social media, just as Toxic hit theaters. Now, he has tweeted again, claiming other filmmakers should learn from Dhurandhar's success. Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, is described as a film with highly relatable, realistic characters who make the audience stay engaged, as opposed to other films which rely on special effects and spectacle.

Varma also defended the violence in Dhurandhar, arguing it has a purpose and context, unlike the gratuitous violence seen in other films. The filmmaker's latest post comes on the first Monday after Toxic's release, as the movie fell short of expectations by failing to cross the Rs 300 crore mark.
