Aditya Dhar’s highly anticipated film ‘Dhurandhar X’ starring Ranveer Singh, Akshay Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sanjay Dutt has hit theaters on 5th December, garnering enthusiastic responses from audiences and critics alike.
Set against the backdrop of the 1999 IC-814 hijacking and the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, the film explores the tense aftermath of these historic events. Early reviews suggest that the film immediately captivates viewers from the first frame, with Ranveer Singh delivering a powerhouse performance.
Standout Performances and Fan Reactions
Fans and critics have particularly praised Akshay Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal, noting that their performances add depth and intensity to the story. Many have lauded Akshay Khanna’s negative role, suggesting he deserves an award for his portrayal, especially highlighting a key scene that has gone viral online.
Social media reactions include:
- “Dhurandhar blew my mind!”
- “Akshay Khanna deserves an award for this negative role.”
- “Purely a money-back guarantee movie!”
- “The film’s story demands courage, and it delivers fully.”
The film’s background score and action sequences have also been widely appreciated, adding to its appeal as a complete cinematic package.
Box Office Buzz and Advance Bookings
Despite massive hype, advance bookings have not matched expectations, likely due to competition from ‘Tere Ishq Mein’ starring Kriti Sanon and Dhanush, which recently crossed ₹100 crore in just six days.
Currently, ‘Dhurandhar X’ has sold over 255,000 tickets in 2D and earned an additional ₹45.22 lakh from 123 IMAX shows, bringing advance earnings close to ₹14 crore. Maharashtra leads with ₹3.02 crore, followed closely by Delhi with ₹2.98 crore. Analysts predict a first-day collection of ₹15-20 crore, but the film’s ultimate success will depend on word-of-mouth and positive promotion, especially given its ₹250 crore budget.
