More notably, it has overtaken Jawan (Rs 640.25 crore) and Kalki 2898 AD (Rs 646.31 crore) in India net collections within just eight days of release.
The next target for the film is SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which had a lifetime India net collection of Rs 782.20 crore. Given the current momentum, trade analysts believe the film could achieve this feat soon.
Critically, the film has received largely positive reviews. The Free Press Journal awarded it 3 stars, stating, "Dhurandhar: The Revenge is a gripping, high-voltage drama that works largely because of Ranveer's powerhouse performance. Despite its slow patches and excessive gore, the film delivers enough thrills and emotion to keep audiences invested."
However, audience reactions remain mixed. While many have praised the film’s scale and performances, a section of viewers has criticised it, calling it propaganda.
Despite the divided word of mouth, the Aditya Dhar-directorial shows no signs of slowing down at the box office.
