Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma praised Dhurandhar's creation of realistic characters, likening them to those found in his own film, Satya. He emphasized that Dhurandhar's portrayals resonate with authenticity rather than relying on stereotypical roles.

Varma pointed out that while other films may chase visual flair, Dhurandhar's direction honors the audience with true human stories, where the depicted violence holds genuine emotional significance and consequences.
