The film's preview shows have contributed a sizeable share to its opening day earnings.
Soon after the film's first shows were over, netizens were quick to share their takes.
The Aditya Dhar-directed film failed to secure theatrical releases in the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia, despite being certified by India’s Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
In a message posted on social media, the production house said Dhurandhar would be remembered forever for setting a new benchmark at the box office.
Dhurandhar benefited largely from the long holiday period from Christmas to New Year, as per film trade expert Taran Adarsh.
The Ranveer Singh-led film has also entered the top five highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
On Sunday, Jio Studios, which has backed the project, confirmed that Dhurandhar has collected ₹806.80 crore net at the Indian box office in its first month.
Data from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) shows that several leading broadcasters, including JioStar, Zee Entertainment Enterprises, Eenadu Television, TV Today Network, NDTV and ABP Network, have surrendered licences for multiple channels.
The Aditya Dhar directorial has done exceptionally well at the ticket counters, bolstered by its story and its performances.
In a post on X, the Lt Governor said the film, which has been shot extensively across Ladakh, showcases the Union Territory’s breathtaking cinematic landscapes.
Taking to Instagram, Johar shared a long, introspective note reflecting on the growing lack of empathy and grace in public discourse.
The film has become the first Hindi film ever to cross the ₹100 crore mark in its fourth week.
Social media is rife with nostalgic posts around the iconic music channel shutting down after over four decades.
The season maintains its format, with startups pitching their ideas after a selection process, and only a select few making it to air.
Kapadia explained that action films from India have historically performed well in the Middle East, making the setback particularly significant for Dhurandhar.
At present, Dhurandhar is set to surpass the lifetime domestic box office collections of the SS Rajamouli directorial RRR.
The new year is shaping up to be an exciting one for Indian OTT audiences, with platforms rolling out a packed slate of bold originals, much-awaited sequels, and high-octane dramas.
With stars like Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor and Salman Khan leading the charge, filmmakers are betting heavily on scale, visual effects and high-octane storytelling to pull audiences back to cinemas.
The response came hours after Global Times published an article criticising the teaser of Battle of Galwan, which was released over the weekend.
Moviegoers flocked to the theatres for everything right from edge-of-the-seat spy thrillers, larger-than-life commercial potboilers, and grand retellings of mythological stories alike, proving that they were willing to back bold stories regardless of the genre.
The spy espionage thriller made ₹1,078 crore globally and is nearing the ₹1,100 crore milestone.
