Double Dhamaka: Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge and Dhurandhar Trending In Top 5 On JioHotstar

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, June 11 - The Dhurandhar duology continues to dominate audiences even after its record-breaking theatrical run. Nearly a week after its highly anticipated OTT debut, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has emerged as the most-watched title on JioHotstar in India this week. The blockbuster sequel has been drawing massive viewership since its digital premiere, further cementing its status as one of the biggest Indian films of all time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Released on JioHotstar on June 4, while it is still playing in theatres, Dhurandhar 2 quickly became the number one movie on the platform this week, and continues to rank at the top since its digital debut. The Ranveer Singh-led blockbuster had already rewritten box office history by becoming the second highest-grossing Indian film of all-time worldwide. Meanwhile, the first Dhurandhar is trending at number 4 on JioHotstar, creating a rare double among the most-watched titles. The overwhelming response has helped the sequel maintain its grip on the top spot while also driving viewers back to the original film, which has re-entered the platform's most-watched titles list. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The success of both films on streaming reflects the cultural impact of both films. While many viewers are revisiting the original Dhurandhar to relive the journey, others are experiencing the saga for the first time after hearing about the sequel's phenomenal box office run and OTT reception. The renewed interest has created a rare scenario where both instalments are trending simultaneously on one of India's largest streaming platforms. Earlier, both films scripted box office history by grossing over 1300 crores and 1800 crores worldwide, simultaneously, and also becoming the first Indian film series to gross over 3000 crores globally. With Dhurandhar 2 occupying the No. 1 position and Dhurandhar sitting at No. 4 on JioHotstar's India charts, the spy actioner has once again proven its staying power. From shattering box office records to dominating streaming rankings, Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh's blockbuster series continues to set new benchmarks for Hindi cinema.

Alpha Teaser: Alia Bhatt's Spy Actioner Faces Expected Negativity, And Teaser Has Little To Do With It

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, June 10 - The teaser of Alpha, the first female-led film in YRF's Spy Universe, was finally unveiled on Wednesday, giving audiences a glimpse into the action-packed world headlined by Alia Bhatt, Sharvari Wagh, and Bobby Deol. While the teaser quickly became one of the most talked-about topics across social media platforms, it also attracted a wave of criticism from certain sections of the internet. While discussions about a major film are expected, a significant portion of the negativity directed at the teaser appears forced and intentional, which has very little to do with the teaser itself. In reality, Alpha had become a target for a section of online users long before its first footage arrived. One reason is the presence of Alia Bhatt in the lead role. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Over the last decade, Alia has established herself as one of Bollywood's most successful and commercially viable stars, but that hasn't saved her from online trolling and polarised opinions. Despite being hailed as one of the finest actors of this generation, she has always been under public scrutiny and online trolling, largely for being a star kid. Any major project featuring Alia inevitably attracts a vocal section of critics who are often ready with their verdict before the promotional campaign even begins. As a result, Alpha entered the conversation carrying baggage that had little to do with the film itself. The film's association with Yash Raj Films has added another layer to the scrutiny. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The YRF Spy Universe, which includes blockbuster franchises such as Tiger, Pathaan, and War, has become one of Indian cinema's most successful shared universes. At the same time, some sections of the audience have criticised certain entries for their portrayal of India-Pakistan relations, arguing that the films occasionally take a softer approach than they would prefer. However, the teaser of Alpha does not indicate that the story revolves around Pakistan or follows any of the themes that previously attracted such criticism. Despite that, the film continues to receive similar attacks, suggesting that many reactions are being driven by assumptions rather than the actual content on display. The timing of Alpha's teaser has also coincided with the excitement surrounding Dhurandhar films. Aditya Dhar's spy actioner, inspired by real events, has generated praise for its grounded tone and hard-hitting depiction of terrorism. The strong response to Dhurandhar films has further emboldened some online commentators, who are using the film as a benchmark to criticise Alpha even before its story has been revealed. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Another factor often cited by industry observers is Yash Raj Films' long-standing reputation for relying more on its own marketing strategy than on widespread paid promotional campaigns across social media circles. Whether entirely accurate or not, the perception exists that YRF is less willing than some studios to engage in the increasingly common practice of paid online promotion. As a result, YRF's projects frequently face a harsher digital environment where praise is scrutinised, and criticism tends to gain greater visibility. This also raises a big question about the Bollywood industry's growing dependence on what many describe as a "pay-and-get-praise" ecosystem. While no major studio publicly acknowledges such practices, the perception has become widespread enough to influence how online reactions are interpreted.

Ramayana, Varanasi, or Others? Five Films That May Break Box Office Records of Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, June 2 - Bollywood star Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has set a benchmark that seemed unimaginable when the film was announced. The spy-action blockbuster shattered numerous domestic and worldwide box office records, emerging as one of the biggest Indian films of all time with over 1800 crores worldwide. Dhurandhar 2 is the highest-grossing Indian film worldwide (without China), and it took almost 10 years for a film to break Baahubali 2's record. However, with several mega-budget spectacles lined up over the next couple of years, it is believed that the reign of Dhurandhar 2 could eventually be challenged. Here are five films that have the potential to surpass Dhurandhar 2's historic box office achievements. 1. Ramayana Part 1 (Diwali 2026) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) There is perhaps no Indian film carrying more anticipation than Ramayana Part 1. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and featuring an ensemble cast led by Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, the film aims to bring one of India's most revered epics to the big screen on an unprecedented scale. The story of Lord Ram has a universal appeal across generations and regions. Combined with cutting-edge visual effects and a massive production budget, Ramayana Part 1 has all the ingredients needed to become a global phenomenon. 2. Varanasi (April 2027) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Among all upcoming films, Varanasi may be the biggest wildcard. Directed by S. S. Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, the film is reportedly being mounted on a scale rarely seen in Indian cinema. The Rajamouli factor alone makes Varanasi a serious contender. The filmmaker has consistently expanded the box office ceiling with films like Baahubali and RRR. Combined with the cast's worldwide appeal and an ambitious, globe-trotting adventure narrative rooted in Indian mythology, Varanasi is being positioned as a global cinematic event rather than a regular commercial release. 3. Raaka (TBA 2027) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Among the newer contenders, sci-fi actioner Raaka has quickly established itself as one of the biggest upcoming projects. Directed by Atlee and headlined by Allu Arjun, the film is being mounted as a large-scale sci-fi action entertainer with futuristic world-building and extensive visual effects. The film benefits from a dream combination of Atlee's commercial filmmaking expertise and Allu Arjun's massive popularity following the success of the Pushpa franchise. Unlike most Indian blockbusters, Raaka is exploring the relatively untapped sci-fi genre, which gives it a fresh identity in the marketplace. 4. Ramayana Part 2 (Diwali 2027) If Ramayana Part 1 becomes a blockbuster as expected, the second part could operate on an entirely different level. Historically, successful films often witness massive growth with their follow-up instalments. The climactic portions of the Ramayana, including the battle between Lord Ram and Ravana, are among the most celebrated stories in Indian epic. This gives Ramayana Part 2 the potential to become one of the biggest cinematic events in Indian history and possibly surpass every existing box office benchmark. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 5. Kalki Part 2 (TBA 2027/2028) Following the 1000+ crores success, the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD has been one of the most-awaited films with the first film leaving fans on the edge. With Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan set to return, with Sai Pallavi replacing Deepika Padukone, Kalki Part 2 could benefit from both franchise goodwill and heightened audience curiosity. If the sequel successfully expands the scale and emotional stakes, it has the potential to become a worldwide box office juggernaut. Can These Films Really Surpass Dhurandhar 2? Breaking the records of Dhurandhar 2 will not be easy. The film benefited from exceptional word-of-mouth, repeat viewership, strong overseas performance, and massive pan-India appeal. However, Ramayana Part 1, Ramayana Part 2, Kalki Part 2, Varanasi, and Raaka represent a new generation of event cinema designed specifically for the theatrical experience. Each of these films possesses the scale, star power, and anticipation required to generate historic numbers. If exucation is right, then sky is the limit for these titles at the box office.

Dhurandhar 2 Depiction of Bade Saheb Rattles D-Company; Mumbai on High Alert Following Security Threats

BY SACNILK

The record-breaking run of the Dhurandhar franchise at the box office is now being overshadowed by a developing real-world security situation. While the film has shattered historical milestones by crossing the 3,100 Cr mark worldwide, its impact has moved far beyond the cinema halls. According to a recent report by NDTV, intelligence sources suggest that the movie has provoked an aggressive reaction from the very criminal organizations it portrays on screen, leading to a state of high alert in Mumbai. The core of the controversy centers on the character known as Bade Saheb, played by Danish Iqbal. While the first film kept the identity of the primary antagonist somewhat mysterious, the sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, takes a much more direct approach. It depicts a frail, aging, and bedridden version of a figure who bears a striking resemblance to Dawood Ibrahim. Showing the underworld don in such a vulnerable state, requiring constant medical attention and nearing the end of his life, has reportedly stripped away the myth of power that the real-life syndicate has tried to maintain for decades. According to sources cited in recent reports by NDTV, this specific portrayal has deeply rattled D-Company. The syndicate is reportedly angered by the film's attempt to humanize their leader's decline and portray him as weak rather than formidable. This has led to intelligence warnings about a possible Mumbai Move, where the gang might attempt to carry out a high-profile action or target a powerful public figure in India. The goal of such an operation would be to revive their tarnished image and re-establish a sense of fear that they believe the movie has undermined. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The report also suggests that the gang is seeking assistance from their handlers in the ISI to coordinate this retaliatory effort. The fear among security agencies is that the underworld group feels pressured to prove they are still an active and dangerous force. The timing of this controversy is also notable, as it follows the massive viewership numbers of the film's World Television Premiere on May 30, which brought the sensitive content to an even larger domestic audience across India. From a production standpoint, the level of realism achieved in the film was no accident. Director Aditya Dhar and his team focused heavily on authenticity, with Danish Iqbal reportedly spending twelve hours each day in prosthetic sessions to achieve the look of an ailing, bedridden man. This commitment to detail is what has made the film a cultural phenomenon, but it is also exactly what has made it such a polarizing topic within intelligence circles. The film has essentially challenged the public perception of the underworld by focusing on its eventual decay. As of June 1, 2026, security has been tightened across Mumbai for important figures and public locations following these intelligence warnings. While the Dhurandhar franchise is already a record-breaking financial success, its impact is now being felt in the real world. It is rare for a fictional spy story to cause such a direct response from the actual groups it set out to portray on screen.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 3. Engaging Background Score A powerful background score can transform a scene, and Dhurandhar 2 uses music effectively throughout its runtime. Whether it's a tense face-off, an emotional moment, or a heroic elevation sequence, the score amplifies the impact of every major scene. The soundtrack plays a crucial role in keeping viewers invested in the film's narrative journey. 4. Emotional Core Beneath The Action While the film is packed with action and spectacle, it doesn't lose sight of its emotional foundation. Themes of sacrifice, duty, family, and resilience are deep in the story, giving audiences characters they can genuinely care about. These emotional beats provide depth to the narrative and ensure that the action carries meaningful stakes. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 5. A Never-Before-Seen Patriotic Cinema Unlike conventional patriotic dramas, Dhurandhar 2 presents nationalism through a more grounded and realistic cinematic lens.

Dhurandhar 2 Box Office: Major Records of Ranveer Singh Starrer That May Remain Safe For A Long Time

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 27 - Dhurandhar is not just a film, but proof that with 100% conviction, films can achieve the biggest records even with restrictions. Despite being in the 10th week, Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has been rewriting box office history at an unbelievable pace, still attracting audiences. Starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, the action spectacle has emerged as one of the greatest Indian blockbusters, and to think that it achieved massive numbers in India and internationally with age restrictions makes this historic success jaw-dropping. Over the last few years, Indian cinema has produced massive blockbusters, and will continue to do so, but here are some of the Dhurandhar 2 records that may remain safe for a long time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Fastest A-Rated 1000 Crore Grosser Worldwide One of the film's biggest achievements was entering the 1000 crore worldwide club in just seven days. The movie matched the record pace of Pushpa 2: The Rule and became the joint fastest Indian film ever to reach the historic milestone. While it is definitely a proud record, it is not unbreakable, given the way Indian cinema is operating at the moment, with another blockbuster always around the corner. While we may get the fastest Indian 1000 crore grosser very soon, it will be an uphill task for a film with an adult rating. Dhurandhar 2 was 18+ rated, plus, it was banned in the Gulf region, which is a major market for Indian cinema. Yet, the spy action thriller reached the thousand crore milestone at a record pace, which is likely to remain safe for a long time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Highest A-Rated Indian Grosser Dhurandhar 2 has grossed over 1800 crores worldwide, and is the second-highest-grossing Indian film of all time, which shows that it is already nearing the highest point for Indian cinema, and the highest if we take out China market from the equation. The current biggest grosser, Dangal (2070 crore), largely contributed was China box office, which is not a regular market for Indian cinema. Dhurandhar 2 is achieving its box office numbers with an A-rating and without a single penny from the Gulf and China, which is a watershed achievement for the film. It is expected to remain the biggest adult-rated Indian film for a long time, unless a pleasantly shocking film arrives soon. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Highest Indian Grosser In North America The film created history in North America by surpassing the lifetime collections of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion in the territory. For years, S. S. Rajamouli's blockbuster held a near-unbreakable record in the market with $20.70 million, which shows how tough it is for Indian films to go past the $20 million mark. Dhurandhar 2 managed to attract huge audiences throughout its theatrical run and emerged as the biggest Indian success ever in the region with $28.60+ million. There are some of the highly anticipated films lined up over the next 2 years, which might score massive numbers at the North American box office, but an adult-rated film breaking Dhurandhar 2's record is looking extremely tough anytime soon. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Biggest First Week For An A-Rated Film In A Single Language The action entertainer delivered a historic first-week total and became one of the highest first-week grossers ever for a Hindi-language film with 763 crore gross (636 crore net). After opening to sensational numbers worldwide, the movie continued its dream run on weekdays as well, proving that audience reception remained exceptionally strong beyond the initial hype. Maintaining such massive collections after a gigantic opening is extremely rare in modern box office trends, especially for an age-restricted title. 1000 Crore India Net Milestone For A-Rated Perhaps the film's most extraordinary achievement was crossing the 1000 crore Hindi net mark. Only a handful of Indian films have ever approached this milestone, but Dhurandhar 2 is the only one to acheive these in a single language, a rarity in a modern high-priced theatrical market. The feat reflected the film's universal acceptance across multiplex audiences, mass circuits, metros, and smaller centres alike. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 100 Crore Single Day In A Single Language For An A-Rated Film Before Dhurandhar 2, it was SS Rajamouli's RRR, which scored the 100+ crores single-day collection in a single language, but never before had an adult-rated film hit this jackpot. Dhurandhar 2 not only achieved this milestone twice (day 3 and day 4), but also unlocked the potential for a Hindi film to achieve. However, it may still be the hardest thing to do for a restricted film.

The much-talked-about action thriller starring Ranveer Singh will have its World Television Premiere on May 30 at 7 PM on Star Gold, Star Gold 2, and Colors Cineplex. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The television premiere marks another major milestone for the film, which emerged as one of the biggest Indian blockbusters. Backed by high-octane action, patriotic themes, and a mass-heavy presentation, the 2025 film managed to create strong buzz during its theatrical run and continued to dominate conversations even after its digital release. Made on a grand scale and huge budget, Dhurandhar featured Ranveer Singh in one of his most intense action-oriented avatars. The film received appreciation for its raw action sequences and rooted narrative. The film is expected to register impressive television ratings, considering its strong theatrical popularity and fan following among mass audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Multi-channel premieres have increasingly become a strategy for broadcasters to maximise reach, and the same approach is now being adopted for Dhurandhar. The movie's television debut is expected to further strengthen its popularity among audiences. With its action-packed narrative and star power, the film is likely to attract significant viewership. Released on December 5, 2025, Dhurandhar went on to gross over 1300 crores at the worldwide box office, before its sequel, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, scripted history by grossing over 1800 crores globally after its release on March 19. Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studio, the movie also stars R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, and Danish Pandor in key roles.

The Five Must-Watch Indian Spy Movies If You Loved Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 26 - Director Aditya Dhar's spy action thriller Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge have changed the game for Indian cinema in this genre. Grounded espionage and raw action are the core of the blockbuster franchise. Ranveer Singh's gritty performance as deep-cover agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi set a new gold standard for realistic Indian spy thrillers. If you love complex, chapter-based plots, tense standoffs, and nation-first narratives, these five Indian spy masterpieces will keep you on the edge of your seat. While Dhurandhar has definitely set the bar super high, these five films have been the gold standard in this genre. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Baby (2015) Where to Watch - JioHotstar, YouTube (rent) Directed by Neeraj Pandey, Baby is about an elite, unnamed Indian counter-intelligence team that sets out on a ticking-clock mission to track down a terrorist group and eliminate dangerous sleeper cells. Starring Akshay Kumar as lead agent Ajay Singh Rajput, alongside Rana Daggubati and Taapsee Pannu, the film opts for hyper-realistic action, gritty international locations, and a raw, professional look at the gruelling reality of spy work. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Madras Cafe (2013) Where to Watch - Prime Video, YouTube (rent), Apple TV This political thriller is directed by Shoojit Sircar and features John Abraham as the lead agent and Nargis Fakhri as an international journalist. In the movie, an Indian army special forces officer is recruited by the intelligence wing to infiltrate a war-torn island and break up a powerful rebel force. It feels almost like a documentary, exploring the dark, heavy realities of real-world spy craft. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) D-Day (2013) Where to Watch - Prime Video, MX Player, YouTube Directed by Nikkhil Advani, the film focuses on a highly secret, four-member R&AW team that infiltrates Pakistan to capture and bring back "Goldman," India's most wanted criminal mastermind. The film boasts a powerhouse cast including Arjun Rampal (who also stars in Dhurandhar), Rishi Kapoor, Irfan Khan, and Huma Qureshi. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Vishwaroopam (2013) Where to Watch - JioHotstar A seemingly effeminate Kathak dance teacher in New York is hunted by the FBI, only to reveal he is a highly lethal, top-tier Indian intelligence agent tracking a global terror network. Written, directed, and led by cinema legend Kamal Haasan, the movie also stars Rahul Bose and Pooja Kumar. It mirrors Dhurandhar's massive global scope, explosive hand-to-hand combat choreography, and clever use of shifting secret identities to outsmart dangerous adversaries. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Raazi (2018) Where to Watch - Prime Video, Netflix, Apple TV On the eve of the 1971 Indo-Pak war, a young, untrained Kashmiri girl is married into a high-ranking Pakistani military family to serve as a deep-cover spy. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, this critically acclaimed film stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles. The film explores the heavy emotional weight of patriotism and the terrifying fear of operating behind enemy lines.

Four Reasons Why Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar Is Different From YRF Spy Universe Films

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 26 - The mega blockbuster success of Aditya Dhar's spy thriller franchise Dhurandhar and its sequel Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has changed how audiences may view Indian spy cinema going forward. Starring Ranveer Singh, the film follows his character Jaskirat Singh Rangi, a deep-cover Indian agent living a dangerous double life inside enemy territory. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ever since Dhurandhar films have been released, the franchise's gritty story has sparked an intense debate among moviegoers. R. Madhvan, who has played a major role in the two-part film series, famously said during the trailer launch event of the first film last year that Dhurandhar will vanish the spy genre in Indian cinema. This has sparked a debate as many compare Dhurandhar's style to the famous Yash Raj Films Spy Universe, which includes hits like Pathaan, Tiger, and War. While YRF films have proven their box office dominance over the year, Dhurandhar's success might have put the studio under pressure regarding its future films. Here are five points which makes 3000+ crore blockbuster to YRF Spy movies. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Realism vs. Fantasy While both franchises centred around terrorism, the YRF Spy Universe functions as a larger-than-life, masala entertainer, and popcorn-friendly world where you leave your brain at home. On the other hand, Dhurandhar is highly grounded, which explores actual intelligence tactics, politics, and historical underpinnings, starring from 1999 Kandahar hijacking to the Karachi underworld. Grit over Glamour YRF movies are famous for flashy international locations, stylish outfits, and massive dance numbers. Dhurandhar features heavy hyper-violence, profanity, and a dark, moody visual style. It completely skips typical Bollywood song-and-dance tropes to keep the tension alive while using iconic songs as background music in sync with scenes. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Character Portrayal In the YRF universe, spies act like unstoppable superheroes who can dodge bullets effortlessly and jump from one plane to another. In Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh's character (Jaskirat Singh Rangi) is quiet, lethal, and deeply vulnerable. The movie showcases the immense emotional and mental toll of deep-cover spy craft rather than treating it like a fun adventure. Geopolitical Stakes YRF films often take a softer, completely fictionalised stance on international conflicts to appeal to a global audience. Dhurandhar does not try to please both sides. It presents an unvarnished, sharp-edged depiction of real-life rivalries and national security struggles while giving proper importance to each character without caring about the runtime.
