"I have already watched Dhurandhar 2. It is beyond extraordinary," Gautam stated. "I was really emotional. I had to catch a flight that day, so I couldn’t say anything to Aditya at the time. I wanted to justify my feelings about what I experienced."

The actress further noted that the film's impact stayed with her throughout her journey. "I was just watching the sunset outside [the plane] and wondering what I would tell Aditya when the flight landed," she added, emphasising that the film is a testament to the director’s "life’s effort."

National Pride and Craftsmanship

Gautam, who also confirmed she felt the same "unwavering confidence" in the first part, highlighted the sincerity behind the project. She noted that while the original script for the first film was only 40 pages long when she first read it, it moved her to tears—a reaction she says has been surpassed by the sequel.

"Aditya loves his audience and the country," she said. "Dhurandhar 2 will be an experience that the audience will never forget. You will say with pride that this is an Indian film."
