Building on its surge past Rs 750 crore worldwide and all-time top 10 entry, Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar cemented blockbuster status with a massive opening Friday on December 27, 2025. Defying conventions by skipping a star heroine, running 3.5 hours, earning an adults-only rating, and featuring gore, the film drew huge audiences, signaling shifts in Indian cinema.
At the Mumbai trailer launch for the upcoming film Dhurandhar on November 18, 2025, Ranveer Singh lauded his young co-star Sara Arjun, comparing her to Dakota Fanning for her talent and experience. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the movie features a star-studded cast including Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal. The film is set for a December 2025 release.
