Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' First Look Storms Past 100 Million Views And is all Tinseltown is talking about this week!
Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar first look has exploded. Within days of launch, the high-stakes action thriller has amassed over 100 million views across platforms, making it one of the most explosive digital debuts in recent memory.
Led by Ranveer Singh in a fierce, almost unrecognizable avatar, and backed by Dhar's direction, Dhurandhar has taken the internet by storm. The first look delivers gritty action, haunting atmosphere, and an unforgettable line: 'Ghayal hoon, isliye ghatak hoon.' For Dhar, who famously gave the nation 'How's the josh?' in Uri, it's another mic-drop moment that proves his command over mass appeal.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
Audiences are talking nonstop. On X, users are praising the cast, the visuals, and the cut-to-music editing style. Comments range from 'Akshaye Khanna stole the show in two seconds' to 'Ranveer's rawness is insane' and 'This is how a first glimpse should feel - tight, stylish, and intriguing.' Reddit is equally lit, with breakdowns flooding channels from analysis to plot speculation. 'This looks like a true genre shift,' wrote one user, while another observed, 'Finally, violence that feels earned.' There's a whole dialogue going on about the possible real life instance this film could be inspired by.
Part of what's keeping Dhurandhar alive is its restraint. The first look doesn't spell out the plot and leaves room for interpretation. Add to that a powerhouse ensemble of Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, plus a thunderous reimagining of the folk song Jogi, and you have a project that's firing the shots it needs to.
Presented by Jio Studios and produced by Aditya Dhar, Lokesh Dhar, and Jyoti Deshpande under B62 Studios, Dhurandhar is shaping up to be not just a film, but a cinematic statement. Dhar isn't chasing trends he's setting them. And judging by the response, the audience is more than ready to follow.
