Dhurandhar Breaks All-Time Bollywood Records
Ranveer Singh's "Dhurandhar" has become the highest-grossing Hindi film ever after completing 75 days in theaters. The film leads Netflix Bollywood views at 18.7 million after 3 weekends, topping "Crew" at 16.7 million. It's nearing Rs 325 crore worldwide on Day 27, cementing Singh's superstar status.
- The film is the first of a two-part saga, with the sequel, "Dhurandhar: The Revenge," already scheduled for a theatrical release on March 19, 2026. - "Dhurandhar" was made on a combined budget estimated to be between ₹250-350 crore for both installments, making its box office performance a significant financial success. - The spy thriller is directed by Aditya Dhar, who also wrote and directed the 2019 critically acclaimed and commercially successful film "Uri: The Surgical Strike". - Despite its box office dominance, the film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances by the ensemble cast but criticized its extensive 214-minute runtime. - The movie features a large ensemble cast alongside Ranveer Singh, including Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan. - This record-breaking success marks a major comeback for Singh, whose last few films, including "Cirkus" and "Jayeshbhai Jordaar," had underperformed at the box office. - The film has also generated controversy for its blending of fictional elements with real historical events, with some commentators describing it as propagandistic. - Following the "Dhurandhar" sequel, Ranveer Singh is slated to take on the iconic role of Don in "Don 3," taking over the franchise from Shah Rukh Khan.
