Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has characterized the upcoming box office clash between Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar 2' and Yash's 'Toxic' as 'Dhuroxic,' an ideological battle between ultra-realistic and ultra-unrealistic cinema. Varma argues 'Dhurandhar 2' focuses on cause, consequence, and human fallibility, while 'Toxic' prioritizes style, attitude, and a bulletproof protagonist. He suggests this clash could signal a shift away from hero worship towards more relatable characters, though acknowledges the opposite outcome is also possible. The films are set to release on March 19, 2026.
