Why Dhurandhar Became a Viral Phenomenon
Several factors that contributed to this "Dhurandhar Wave" that swept the box office:
- Stellar Ensemble:
The performance of Akshaye Khanna and the chemistry between Ranveer and Akshaye (playing the gang leader Rehman Dakait) became the talk of social media, supported by heavyweights like Sanjay Dutt and R Madhavan.
- Ranveer Singh’s Career-Best:
Critics are calling this Ranveer's "transformation year," praising his restrained yet explosive performance as a spy.
- Minimal Promotions, Maximum Impact:
Unlike the usual high-decibel marketing, the makers (Jio Studios & B62 Studios) relied on the film's "silence and substance," allowing word-of-mouth to drive the numbers.
- The "Karachi Underworld" Setting of Dhurandhar:
The gritty, realistic depiction of Karachi’s Lyari area resonated deeply with audiences looking for authentic action.
What’s Next: Dhurandhar 2
The viral fever isn't ending anytime soon. The makers have already confirmed that the story is a two-part saga. Dhurandhar 2 is officially slated for release on March 19, 2026.
