Dhurandhar Faces Heat Ahead of Release
Ranveer Singh and R. Madhavan’s action drama Dhurandhar is gearing up for release on December 5. Inspired by real events, the film deals with terrorism and India’s efforts to combat it at the ground level. With advance bookings now open, the movie has already generated strong curiosity among audiences.
One aspect drawing attention is the steep ticket pricing at a premium theatre in Mumbai, where the costliest seat is priced at ₹2,020, excluding food and beverages. Telugu moviegoers are pointing out that such pricing isn’t new for them, as several Telugu films also sell premiere tickets at similar rates without any add-ons.
Meanwhile, the film has run into controversy ahead of its release. The parents of late Major Mohit Sharma have approached the Delhi High Court, requesting a halt on the movie. They argue that the film indirectly resembles the martyr’s life and that his legacy cannot be portrayed or altered without the family’s permission. This comes despite the director’s clarification that the film is not based on Major Sharma.
The makers are yet to officially respond. Shot across Thailand, Mumbai, Punjab, and Ladakh, Dhurandhar is one of the most-talked-about films of the season, both for its scale and its pre-release controversies.
