Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar’ Receives Rave Reviews; Box Office Grand Opening Expected

The excitement surrounding Ranveer Singh’s latest film, “Dhurandhar,” has reached a peak as it premiered on December 5. This action-packed drama, featuring a star-studded cast, has been one of the most discussed films leading up to its release.

About “Dhurandhar”

“Dhurandhar” presents a fictional narrative where Ranveer Singh portrays Major Mohit Sharma. The film delves into a gripping storyline that follows a daring mission orchestrated by India’s Intelligence Bureau Chief, Ajay Sanyal. This mission aims to dismantle a terrorist network in Pakistan, following significant events like the 1999 IC-814 hijacking and the 2001 Parliament attack.

Runtime and Certification

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) granted “Dhurandhar” an ‘A’ certificate with a runtime of 214.1 minutes, marking it the longest Bollywood film since 2008’s “Jodhaa Akbar.” Notably, this is also Ranveer Singh’s first A-rated project.

CBFC Guidelines and Editing

In its review, the CBFC mandated several changes. These include:

A Hindi voiceover for the disclaimer
Anti-drug and smoking warnings
Trimming violent scenes
Changing the name of a character
Adding additional music and end-credit scenes

Such modifications aimed to enhance viewer awareness while maintaining cinematic impact.

Opening Day Expectations

The pre-release excitement has translated into strong ticket sales. Reports indicate that “Dhurandhar” has already approached Rs 14 crore in advance bookings. Analysts predict that, should it reach the Rs 20 crore mark on opening day, it could become Singh’s highest-grossing film since the pandemic. This anticipation highlights the film’s strong reception.
