Despite the claims circulating online, Agnihotri praised the first part of Dhurandhar. After its release, he took to X to share his review, writing, "Just landed back in India after two months and the first thing we did was watch @AdityaDharFilms Dhurandhar." The filmmaker added that the film had blown his mind, saying, "Proud are the only words that come to my mind." He further lauded the writing and vision, noting, "Anyone who knows what goes into making a film would understand what it takes to pull something like this off." This has left many wondering how can he like Dhurandhar's first part and allegedly not like the second one. So far, Agnihotri has not reacted on the claims about him liking Dhurandhar 2 being a "propaganda film post.
