For many in maharashtra, anand Dighe—a close colleague of the late balasaheb Thackeray—has great emotional importance. The timing of the Dharmaveer sequel, which comes out before the maharashtra Legislative assembly elections, couldn't be more crucial given the enormous popularity of the original chapter.
In mumbai and maharashtra, Devara, which is out on the same day, will have fierce competition for screen time and viewer interest. mumbai is a major hub for bollywood movies, thus a high performance here would greatly increase Devara's chances of success throughout India. The makers of Devara will be hoping that Dharmaveer 2 doesn't get as much good press so they can continue to rule the box office with their movie.
