Dhurandhar

Box
Office
Target:
As
December
5
finally
arrives,
Dhurandhar
steps
into
cinemas
with
massive
hype
and
sky-high
expectations.
The
spy
thriller
has
been
the
talk
of
the
town
for
months,
and
the
excitement
surrounding
its
release
has
only
intensified
as
fans
rushed
to
theatres
today
to
see
whether
the
film
lives
up
to
its
promise.
The
film
is
directed
by
Aditya
Dhar,
and
marks
Ranveer
Singh’s
major
comeback
to
the
big
screen
after
nearly
two
years.
His
last
full-fledged
lead
role
was
in
the
blockbuster
Rocky
Aur
Rani
Kii
Prem
Kahaani,
making
Dhurandhar
an
even
bigger
moment
for
both
the
actor
and
his
fans.
(Singham
Again
featured
him
in
an
extended
appearance
but
not
as
the
main
lead.)
Now
that
the
film
has
officially
premiered,
audiences
are
eager
to
dive
into
its
high-stakes
world
of
espionage,
hidden
missions,
and
unexpected
twists.
DHURANDHAR
OVERVIEW:
BUDGET,
PLOT
&
WHAT
TO
EXPECT
Positioned
as
one
of
Bollywood’s
most
ambitious
spy
thrillers,
the
film
kick-starts
a
two-part
franchise,
offering
audiences
an
expansive,
high-adrenaline
experience
that
stretches
beyond
the
three-hour
mark.
With
its
scale,
intensity,
and
slick
production,
the
movie
aims
to
redefine
how
Indian
espionage
stories
are
told
on
screen.
Leading
the
narrative
is
Ranveer
Singh
in
one
of
his
darkest,
most
layered
roles
yet.
He
transforms
into
a
merciless
RAW
operative,
feared
internationally
and
identified
only
through
the
terrifying
moniker
“The
Wrath
of
God.”
Though
not
based
on
any
single
real-life
figure,
the
character
draws
heavily
from
authentic
intelligence
operations,
adding
weight
and
sharp
realism
to
the
drama.
The
thriller
dives
into
Pakistan’s
volatile
Lyari
region-a
space
ruled
by
gangs,
extremist
cells,
and
political
undercurrents.
Ranveer’s
undercover
avatar
navigates
this
dangerous
ecosystem
while
fighting
the
constant
threat
of
being
unmasked.
The
story
thrives
on
mind
games,
tactical
manoeuvres,
and
the
gritty
loneliness
that
shadows
every
undercover
mission.
Adding
muscle
to
the
film
is
a
strong
ensemble
cast.
R.
Madhavan
appears
as
Ajay
Sanyal,
a
master
strategist
inspired
by
India’s
National
Security
Advisor
Ajit
Doval.
Akshaye
Khanna
plays
Rehman
Dakait,
a
powerful
gangster
woven
from
real-world
parallels.
Arjun
Rampal
portrays
ISI
officer
Major
Iqbal,
reportedly
shaped
by
the
infamous
militant
Ilyas
Kashmiri.
Sanjay
Dutt
joins
in
as
Pakistani
police
officer
SP
Chaudhary
Aslam,
while
Sara
Arjun
and
Rakesh
Bedi
enrich
the
film
with
pivotal
supporting
roles.
Filmibeat
recently
connected
with
trade
analyst
Rohit
Jaiswal
to
gain
insights
into
the
box
office
prospects
of
Dhurandhar.
Talking
about
its
budget,
the
trade

said,
“Dhurandhar
has
been
mounted
on
a
massive
budget
of
around
₹275
crore,
making
it
one
of
the
costliest
spy
thrillers
in
recent
years.”
