Dhar achieves a similar alchemy in Dhurandhar 2. The violence does not disgust. It releases. The question worth asking is what makes the depiction of on-screen violence in Dhurandhar 2 feel like justice while other similar depictions feel merely gratuitous? The answer lies in the weight of history behind it.
