Dhurandhar 2 collection live updates

Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge is the fastest Bollywood film to have entered the Rs 1,000-crore club. The Ranveer Singh starrer achieved the feat in seven days, doubling up its box office storm both domestically and worldwide. The film has joined Pushpa 2: The Rule in the club. The film is riding high on word-of-mouth and the audience's conviction in Dhar's storytelling.

It is also the first for Ranveer Singh in many aspects -- his biggest opener so far, crawling up on the charts to make him the only Bollywood actor enjoying this kind of traction at the ticket window within three months.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge is making history every day at the box office. The Aditya Dhar directorial also recently garnered some criticism for a viral picture showing Ranveer Singh's Hamza smoking while wearing a turban in the film. However, on Thursday, the director released a statement, clarifying that the picture is not a part of the film or any other official material shared by the film's team.

There were lots of discussions where I heard him, he heard me, and we fought. But his brief was very clear, and that helped. I could visualise what he was imagining and what he wanted. There was no confusion," he added.

Dhurandhar 2 Actor Rajat Arora on AI-generated image row: Need to be more mindful

Dhurandhar: The Revenge actor Rajat Arora reacted to the AI-generated image controversy. While defending Aditya Dhar, he said that the filmmaker wouldn't "do anything that disrespects any religion or hurts sentiments."

Knowing Aditya Dhar, sir, and the kind of filmmaker he is, I’m confident he would never do anything that disrespects any religion or hurts sentiments. He is extremely particular about every detail, and that’s something audiences truly appreciate about his work. It was quite disappointing that an AI-morphed visual was used to create unnecessary noise," Arora was quoted as saying by Times Now.

He highlighted that while social media gives everyone a voice, it also comes with responsibility. "We need to be more mindful about what we share, especially when it can hurt people’s sentiments. I’m glad Aditya sir addressed it publicly and cleared the air," the actor added.

For the others, it took time. Aditya and I were considering so many people, and honestly, earlier, we had never thought we would cast so many big stars."

"We had a very different kind of actors in mind. Then I pushed him to think bigger. When you start a film, you wonder how so many big actors will come on board. At first, none of this was there, but gradually, as we discussed, it started falling into place," he added.

"Itna accha dialogue bol raha hai. Kya casting ki hai Mukesh bhai ne (Such a fine dialogue delievery. What a perfect casting by Mukesh Chhabra)It was Maddy. I didn't recognise him. He is phenomenal," the actor added.

Pakistani politician Nabeel Gabol breaks silence on Dhurandhar 2

Pakistani politician Nabeel Gabol, on whom Rakesh Bedi’s character Jameel Jamali is allegedly based in Dhurandhar: The Revenge, has expressed his views on the film.

Gabol, in a viral video said, "These people cannot fight against Pakistan. They have made a film and, in it, they have made Lyari internationally famous. The people of Lyari do not care; they are very strong. The role based on me was given to a comedian, Rakesh Bedi. Rakesh Bedi is claiming that he isn't portraying Nabeel Gabol, but has created a character based on everyone generally. Nowadays, there is a lot of trolling on social media asking why Nabeel Gabol has fallen silent. Today, see for yourself—Nabeel Gabol will certainly give you an answer. Just as our Pakistani army gave you an answer, I too will give you an answer regarding what Lyari truly is."

"We will make Dhurandhar 3 and won't name it Dhurandhar. It will be titled Lyari Ka Gabbar and it will depict what Lyari truly is and who is Nabeel Gabol.

Danish, in an interview with CNN News 18, said, "I wasn’t aware of her cameo – in the sense that I didn’t know at what point she comes in. These decisions are all taken by the director himself. So, I was completely oblivious of it. I was totally surprised as I wasn’t there when she shot for her cameo."

"Her part in this film is done so beautifully. It’s such a strong cameo. She enters the frame and the whole frame lifts up. It was a delight to see her onscreen. I personally think Yami ma’am is a beautiful actress and a terrific performer at the same time. She has done a phenomenal job in her recent film, Haq, the actor went on.

While praising Danish's performance, Yami added, "I was in awe of what she did in it. For us, as actors, these performances inspire us. To break the rhythm, to understand the world, to give such amazing monologues, to deliver those scenes… all of it was incredible! The way she has built her career is absolutely amazing."

Heartbreaking: Danish Pandor recalls only 50 people watching Dhurandhar on first day

Actor Danish Pandor, who portrayed Uzair Baloch in Dhurandhar: The Revenge (2026), recalled a time when only 50 people watched the film’s prequel on its opening day.

Danish, in an interview with ABP News, said that it was a ‘heartbreaking’ moment for him when he saw just 40–50 people watching Dhurandhar (2025) on the opening day. 

"It’s all about the audience. I remember the film released on Friday after the screening got cancelled on Thursday. I was completely heartbroken. I couldn’t understand what was happening. I kept thinking, ‘It is such a great film, why is this happening?’ And on top of that, there was too much negative publicity around it. When the film finally released on Friday, I went for the 2:30 pm show. There were barely 40–50 people in the theatre. I kept wondering — we have made such a beautiful film, and there are no viewers," Danish said.

"Suddenly people began watching it and talking about it on social media. It picked up so well that there was no looking back. The reality is, no matter how much negativity surrounds a film, when audiences decide to show their love, nobody can stop them. That’s what matters most. Dhurandhar is a testament to the love people have for the film, its characters, and every department," the actor added.

Pakistani man labels Dhurandhar overrated over Sara Arjun's miniskirt scene

A social media influencer has shared a Pakistani couple's reaction to director Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar. While mocking the film, the Pakistani man described Sara Arjun’s miniskirt scene as "unrealistic."

While speaking about the scene, the Instagram handle, titled thebesharamfoodie, said, "There’s no way a woman can roam alone on the streets of Lyari in a miniskirt. That doesn’t happen. There was another scene about a party and an underground rave (in Naal Nachna song) where signs are written in Urdu. There are no signs in Urdu, it’s just written in English."

While reacting to a dialogue about Lyrari in Dhurandhar, the Pakistani man said, "Dhurandhar is a little overrated. There was a line that we Karachites found very funny. Whoever controls Lyari, controls Karachi. And whoever controls Karachi controls Pakistan. We Karachis say that Karachi is a non-native city. It’s a city for orphans or whatever. And you cannot control Pakistan from there."

"If you want to do it, it can be done from Lahore. For context, my family was originally from Lyari. There was, and there is some gang violence there. But, it’s just between two neighbourhood gangs," he added.

He wrote, "Maybe I just don't have the kind of intellect that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) or its board members possess. Because I genuinely don't understand this – why mute half the abuses and let the other half stay? At places, keep some and fully mute others?."
