Dhurandhar
Box
Office
Collection
Day
1
(Evening
Trend):
Aditya
Dhar
has
returned
to
the
director’s
chair
after
six
years
with
the
2025
release
Dhurandhar.
The
buzz
follows
the
success
of
Aditya
Dhar’s
2019
release
Uri:
The
Surgical
Strike.
To
note,
Dhurandhar
is
inspired
by
real-world
tensions
involving
RAW
and
Operation
Lyari
in
Karachi’s
Lyari
neighbourhood.
Early
reports
suggest
a
large-scale
geopolitical
thriller.
Dhurandhar’s
plot
takes
cues
from
actual
events
linked
to
gangs
and
organised
crime
across
the
Pakistan
border.
Interestingly,
Dhurandhar
is
rooted
in
state-backed
operations
and
India’s
external
intelligence
agency,
RAW,
giving
the
narrative
a
strong
espionage
backdrop
and
cross-border
crime
focus.
For
the
uninitiated,
Dhurandhar
also
marked
Aditya
Dhar’s
first
collaboration
with
Ranveer
Singh,
who
plays
the
lead
role.
The
ensemble
includes
Sanjay
Dutt,
Akshaye
Khanna,
R.
Madhavan,
Arjun
Rampal,
Sara
Arjun,
and
Rakesh
Bedi.
Their
presence
signals
a
star-heavy
canvas
for
the
director’s
return.
Interestingly,
Dhurandhar
has
witnessed
a
thunderous
star
at
the
box
office.

and
recorded
an

Interestingly,
it
has

for
day

in
2025
after
Saiyaara,
Chhaava
and
