Dhurandhar Opens in Theatres to Strong Early Buzz After CBFC Re‑Clearance

Trade trackers expect a mid‑teens to low‑twenties crore start as word of mouth builds.

Overview

  • The Delhi High Court prompted a CBFC re‑examination that concluded the film is purely fictional, leading to an A certificate and a reported 214‑minute runtime.
  • Advance sales were described as modest, with roughly 65,000 tickets sold in top chains by late December 3 and pre‑sales around ₹14 crore, while early morning footfalls were soft.
  • First‑show reactions on social media skew positive, with praise for performances and scale, though some viewers flagged the length.
  • Press screenings were canceled due to technical glitches, and Yami Gautam criticized alleged paid hype and paid negativity in film publicity.
  • Multiple outlets report a four‑minute post‑credit scene that tees up a sequel expected in 2026, positioning the title as a planned multi‑part franchise.
