Helmed by director Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar initially hit domestic screens last December and became a blockbuster. The espionage thriller accumulated a whopping Rs 1,307.35 crore worldwide, with its domestic haul alone crossing Rs1,007.85 crore—cementing its position among the highest-grossing Indian movies of all time.
The high-octane thriller boasts a powerhouse ensemble cast featuring Ranveer Singh alongside Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Rakesh Bedi, and Sara Arjun. The plot centers on a deep-cover Indian spy infiltrating dangerous terror networks across Pakistan on a high-stakes national security mission.
