Dhurandhar release LIVE Updates: Early reviews out, Ranveer Singh's film delivers full-on 'goosebumps'

In the comment box, Hrithik Roshan went on to back his Kaabil co-star. "More than anything , the golden thing that gets lost and leaves them and all of us impoverished is the journalists true voice , a chance for them to inform all the creative forces behind a movie what they felt , thought , what they applaud and criticise. Only true opinions have the potential where feedback helps us evolve. Their own right to freedom gets unknowingly usurped and so does our chance of growth. Without freedom of expression, without the truth helping us evolve , what job satisfaction can they or any of us hope for?", the Dhoom 2 actor wrote.
Yami Gautam, the wife of Dhurandhar director Aditya Dhar, has called out toxic marketing and paid campaigns around the film. Taking to social media, she paid a long note. A part of her note read: "This so called trend of giving money, in the disguise of marketing a film, to ensure good ‘hype’ for a film is created or else ‘they’ will continuously write negative things (even before the film is released), until you pay ‘them’ money feels nothing but kind of extortion. Just because this arrangement is accessible to anyone- whether to ‘hype’ a film or spread negativity against another actor/a film is a plague that is going to affect the future of our industry in a big way.
Unfortunately if anyone feels- it’s harmless & let’s do it because it’s the new ‘normal’, is mistaken. This monster of a ‘trend’ is eventually going to bite everyone."
Another part of her note read, "I say this as a wife of an extremely honest man who has given everything to this film with his undying hard-work, vision & grit along with his team to create something that I know India shall be proud of."
Dhurandhar is one of the most awaited films of the year. However, the advanced booking report shows an underwhelming response. The film’s momentum is being driven largely by its 2D screenings, which alone have brought in an estimated Rs 2.32 crore from over 54,000 tickets sold across 3,937 shows. The IMAX 2D format has added another Rs 26.07 lakh, with 4,032 tickets sold for about 79 shows. With the overall show count touching 4,016, the film is enjoying one of the widest openings in recent times, giving it a strong nationwide footprint. When blocked seats are factored in, the total booking figure climbs to roughly Rs 4.24 crore.
The film is estimated to open between Rs 18 crore to Rs 20 crore at the box office.
