When asked him if he had watched the movie, he said in Punjabi,''I haven’t seen it yet. The tickets are around Rs 500, and as you know, it has only just been released, so I haven’t been able to watch it yet.''
When asked if his family had been urging him to watch the movie in the theatre, he said that it would cost ₹2,500 in total. That is the amount he manages to save in a month.
''Yes, they did. But I told them that there are five of us, and it would cost ₹2,500 in total. ₹2,500 is what we manage to save in a month, so I didn’t take them. I told them we would wait a bit and watch it later,” he said.
Dhurandhar 2 is single-handedly ruling the screens, and in the first week of its release, ticket prices have soared as high as Rs 2,000 in metro cities. However, in tier 1 and tier 2 cities, ticket prices range between Rs 200 and Rs 500.
Dhurandhar 2 climax scene
In the final scene of the movie, when Jaskirat Singh Rangi is brought back to India alive, he quietly escapes from the intelligence agencies and goes to his village in Pathankot, Punjab. As he reaches his house, Ranveer’s character is seen stepping out of the rickshaw and walking towards his home. He sees his elderly mother cleaning, his sister doing household chores, and her children nearby.
After seeing them for the first time in two decades, Jaskirat becomes emotional. However, as he walks towards the gate, his mother and family do not notice him. They all go inside the house without even seeing him. This moment is when Jaskirat realises that the family has long believed their son to be dead and is living happily.
