@AdityaDharFilms, you hit it out of the park. It takes guts to make and release a film 4 hours long. The audience is glued to the seat till the last frame. 🫡

@RanveerOfficial, what a performance man… The sequence with the sister in the shed is a masterclass in acting. From that beginning to the heart-wrenching climax, you mesmerized us both as Hamza and Jaskirat.

@ActorMadhavan, garu, you carried the helplessness and frustration of a nation so well that we felt your sucess as ours.. Congratulations to the entire team for the resounding success… 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼"

His remarks highlight not just the film’s technical brilliance but also its emotional depth, an element he believes truly anchors the narrative.

The film’s performance at the box office mirrors its critical acclaim. Dhurandhar: The Revenge has already shattered multiple records, surpassing Day 2 benchmarks set by films like KGF: Chapter 2 and Pushpa 2.

With a massive release across thousands of screens and strong occupancy rates, the film has crossed significant milestones within just two days. Industry trackers indicate that its domestic and global collections continue to surge, placing it among the biggest releases in recent times.
