The huge star Rajinikanth publicly praised Dhurandhar: The Revenge, congratulating both director Aditya Dhar, Ranveer Singh, and the entire film team. He said on social media that everyone in India should see the film, and finished with a patriotic statement, clearly showing a lot of support from someone very respected in the movie business.
Rajinikanth’s endorsement and its impact
Rajinikanth’s praise is significant for a film that was already getting a lot of attention. He specifically mentioned Aditya Dhar and the actors, which shows he genuinely likes the work. When someone famous says they like a movie, it changes how people think about it and makes them more interested in going to see it.
At the same time as people in the industry are praising the film, it makes you wonder about how much they are supporting each other. This support could be because they truly like the film, because they are working with each other, or both. However, when and how Rajinikanth said his nice things about the movie made an already popular film even more noticeable.
Box office performance and records
Dhurandhar 2 turned all the excitement surrounding it into incredible ticket sales. It had one of the biggest opening weekends ever in India, making around 761 crore rupees around the world. This puts it among the highest earning Indian films for their first release globally, and the early figures indicate a huge success.
In India, lots of people bought tickets before the film even came out and during special preview showings, and ticket websites said they had record numbers of sales every hour. The film also quickly reached 300 crore rupees in domestic sales, proving people kept going to see it, and that it wasn’t just the stars or the first buzz that brought them in.
International reception and market reach
The second film also did very well internationally, earning an estimated 210 crore rupees (about 22.7 million USD) on its opening weekend abroad. This shows that more and more people around the world are liking Hindi films, and big releases from India are now competing with films from all countries.
How well the film is doing worldwide is similar to the way other Indian film series have built a large audience across the globe. Lots of advance ticket sales in many countries suggest Dhurandhar 2 appealed to people who have left India, as well as completely new fans internationally, and expanding how much money the series can make.
Industry response and critical perspectives
Besides Rajinikanth, many other famous directors and actors have said how much they like the film. They praised how big and skillfully made it is, and some said Aditya Dhar’s ambition is like that of well-known directors from other countries. These statements show how much the film appeals to people in all parts of the movie industry.
Most critics gave the film good reviews, saying it was as good as, or even better than, the first one. They liked that the story was carefully put together and didn’t only have lots of action, and they said the director did a good job of keeping the story the main focus while still including spectacular scenes.
Story elements and audience connection
Aditya Dhar directed the film, and it mixes action with complicated political situations. It follows Hamza as he rises in Karachi’s criminal world and gets more involved with people in positions of political power. Ranveer Singh’s acting is central to a story that is about who you are, loving your country, and what is at stake for the people involved.
The other actors, many of whom are well known, add to the emotional impact. A secondary story about a child in school and their difficult future relationship gives the film a human element, and explains why so many people enjoyed it. The combination of the large scale of the film and the emotional connection it makes with the audience has made Dhurandhar 2 something people are both enjoying and discussing.
Rajinikanth’s support may have gotten more people to notice it, but the box office numbers and the way the audience has responded show the film is doing very well on its own. Whether you think of it as an amazing action film, an important part of the series, or a good example of how to market a movie these days, Dhurandhar 2 is one of the most talked about films of the year.
