Dhurandhar’ Opens In Theatres To Warm Early Buzz And A Cautious Start

The A-rated, 214-minute spy thriller reached screens after a CBFC re-examination affirmed it as fiction.

Overview

  • Ranveer Singh’s espionage action film directed by Aditya Dhar released on December 5 with an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal and Sara Arjun.
  • Industry trackers reported roughly ₹14 crore in pre-sales including blocked seats as early shows saw modest turnout, with trade eyeing whether evening and night shows build momentum.
  • After objections from Major Mohit Sharma’s family, the CBFC reviewed the film, certified it ‘A’ and recorded a 214.1-minute runtime that includes a post-credit scene.
  • First-show reactions on social media are largely positive, praising Singh’s intense performance and the film’s scale and action, though some viewers flagged the length and pacing.
  • A roughly four-minute post-credit tease points to a second part, reports peg the budget near ₹280 crore, and the poster indicates Netflix as the OTT partner with an expected window of about eight weeks.
