The film has still emerged as one of Ranveer's biggest opening weekends, surpassing the opening weekend hauls of his previous films, including Padmaavat ( ₹78 crore), Simmba ( ₹75.11 crore), and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani ( ₹46.81 crore).

About Dhurandhar

Set in Pakistan, the spy thriller follows Ranveer Singh as an Indian operative who infiltrates the Lyrai gang to relay intelligence on terrorist networks. Based on true events, the film unfolds in the early 2000s and also stars Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and R. Madhavan in lead roles, alongside Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi.

The cast’s performances have drawn widespread praise, with fans particularly impressed by Akshaye Khanna’s portrayal of Rehman Dakait and Ranveer’s turn as Hamza. R. Madhavan’s physical transformation has also become a talking point.

An excerpt from Hindustan Times’ review reads: “Dhurandhar works best as a character study wrapped in a sprawling espionage drama. The storytelling is indulgent and detailed, but the emotional stakes and the cast keep you hooked. Trim thirty minutes, and this would have been a knockout. As it stands, it is a sturdy watch.”
